You don't, but you're getting it anyway. I reckon some of y'all deserve it and some of y'all don't. Such is life. I live in Florida and can't wait to see how this years hurricane season pans out...

I used to run an auto service center with a Coke machine in the waiting room. Once a month I would get a commission check in the mail from Coca-Cola for usually about $50 or $60. We averaged about 40 cars a day through that place so the machine got a lot of business...

oh wow... you made me think of this movie I saw in the theater when I was a kid: The Day of the Dolphin with George C. Scott. 10 year old me really enjoyed it.

I had an earth science teacher that would let us bring in one 3X5 card of notes for our tests, and I would spend an hour or so transcribing all my notes into small print front and back, then go in and ace the test without ever needing them. Just recopying it all was enough.

I'm betting he also answers all his spam calls to tell them to quit calling him...

CT scans every 4 months... probably gonna get another nodule in my left lung nuked at some point. Hoping maybe the distended aorta that showed in my last scan takes me out quick so I can bypass all the misery of my advancing emphysema or the lung cancer possibly spreading. Aside from that, I'm just going to enjoy my family. Got three grandkids that are a real hoot right now. Counting my blessings is pretty much the priority...

Several years ago, before we got the transmitter-type meters, they would sometimes estimate our usage. We didn't know that until after several months of estimates they came out and actually read it. Apparently, their previous estimates were all low, and suddenly we were hit with a $900+ bill to catch us back up. That sucked. I also remember meeting one of the readers who was going house to house. Our next-door-neighbor's house is completely fenced in, so the reader would come down our driveway and read our meter, then use a pair of binoculars to read the neighbors meter from our yard.

 

The news of the tragic death of Gene Hackman (RIP!) reminded me that even tho I had always wanted to watch it, I had never seen the French Connection. I did a web search to find out who was streaming it, and I noticed in the search results that archive.org had it on their site. Just Watch said on their site that Amazon Prime could stream it for free. My wife has a Prime account, so I made a mental note and decided to go to Archive.org and watch it there since I'm sitting at my computer. It loads up and starts playing, no problems, and then at about 10 minutes in, my browser throws an error, and Voila! just like that the video is gone, suddenly no longer available. I get immediately suspicious and log in to Prime, and no, in fact, I cannot stream it for free, but I can rent it for $3.99. Nobody on this planet can convince me that Amazon's greed didn't have something to do with it getting yanked from Archive.org...

Opportunistic assholes.

 

I have been partoking for 45 years. I'm not used to having A choice, let alone this many choices... I feel like I need to go to all of the places and try all of the things! I'd love to hear from any fellow Floridians about their favorite dispensaries etc...
