Special K: Commence watching Reminiscence (2021).
b1-66er: Whoa•
Sardonically, I don't even know that movie.
K: It just came out today.
b1: WELL IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY HARD TO REMINISCE, ISN'T IT?
K: Oh yes.
20.8.21
AL mighty
Special K: "An Alabama man thought he'd been shot by an intruder. It turns out it was his wife's boyfriend, secretly living in their house"
The eternal sawbuck

Major Math: Right on a lot...
...wrong on rentals. They are crazy expensive
The Accomplice: Everyplace is gross right now. I'm trying to rent in Seattle to see my grandbaby, and it's over $100/day.
They're not super close to the airport, and I'd like to save them the drive.
Plus nowadays you have to pay for parking, too. Oof
It used to be our best-kept LV secret. So much so that we'd go rent a car at the airport the night before traveling, and drive ourselves from home as our airport shuttle.
I think there's a train that'll get me 2/3 of the way there. That's my current plan. They can pick me up at the metro station
MM: Yeah. It's nuts
The Corporal is in Minnesota now and took a shuttle instead of renting
b1: It must be hard to live like the lower classes.
Corporal Math: I love the shuttle. I hate driving.
b1: Then I misspoke.
And I'm more with, than against, you.
I like driving highways or mountains.
I don't like driving cities OR PARKING.
TA: Ah! Is it the kind that might drive you to five other people's drop-offs first? (That's the part that I don't like about old-fashioned airport shuttles.)
MM: She flies into Minneapolis, but is really going to Rochester (Mayo clinic), about an hour away
We NEVER take those horrible airport shuttles
CM: No. Shuttle that takes you from MSP to downtown Rochester. I slipped him an extra 10 bucks off the books to take me to my mom's house.¹
MM: Especially when we travel together. The price of two shuttle tickets is usually in the same order as an Uber
After the main drop off, or on the way?
CM: After. Not the kind of thing to negotiate in front of others.
b1: That's exactly the right trick...
... Enlarge the sociological interactions of Las Vegas into the inhabitants of the United States.
CM: Exactly. Good life training.
MM: I'm impressed. It's not like you to talk to people -- especially in "wheeler/dealer" situations
What exactly did you say to him?
CM: I asked him to take me as far south as he could and then I was going to Uber. After the last person got out, he asked if I had called the Uber. I read that as an opening...
...I said I'll give you 10 bucks to drive me to my mom's across from XYZ school. And he said yep. I can do that. And thanks for waiting to ask until the last person got out.
You trained me well Major Math.
MM: 💰
I'm so proud right now!
TA: Awesome!
b1: And with that dissertation,
Corporal Math graduated with Honors and a PhD from the University of Life's School of Hard Knocks•
CM: Woot. I'll take it. I didn't save any money. Just time and the hubsters pride I guess.
b1: If there's ONE THING I've learned in my
69 HOURS²
of meditation...
It's that ONLY ONE THING MATTERS IN LIFE
All the rest of "being" is just living in an exact moment...
MM: Whiskey?
b1: ... And that's
HUSTLER'S PRIDE
Everything else is just living in an exact moment...
(and to a lesser extent whiskey)
MM: On that note...did you see the outrageous vaxx add from AR?
b1: No!
b1: Humanity...
... As we know it ...
... IS DOOMED•
¹b1's grandfather was a railroader whose family lived in a Union Pacific house just off the tracks in Rawlins...
When b1's mom was a college student, en route from Salt Lake City to Laramie train would stop across from the family house to let her off. (75 years ago)
²not me being pervy. Just happens to be the actual number right now.
