Next Week Already

 - It’s true. The concepts of next week, tomorrow, sometime this month, are really impossible to chart, as there will always be one…until there isn’t.  Point is don’t put things off too long. No telling when the calendar will just run out for any of us.

- Auto body repair shops…do any of them do actual repair anymore, like pounding out dents, reshaping with Bondo or whatever?  Over the past decade or so I’ve had some body damage to both trucks in which nothing was actually repaired , just replaced.  Took in one case MONTHS to get the parts, which were much lesser quality. What do they do with the tons of damaged parts?  Maybe I’m the single example, but I’d rather have repairs than replacements just about every day.

- Took a pair of Justin boots in to get new soles and heels. I’ve had these for going on 30 years, and they are insanely comfortable. What was a shocker was the repair ticket, over $100! At first I was tempted to say to hell with it and just toss em out, but in a split second decided it was a much better choice to pay over $100 for boots that will likely outlast me.  

Should be noted the old Mexican man doing the work has been in the same location since the 70s, and stated the costs/time involved reflect the costs of goods. He also said good boot repair guys don’t really exist anymore, as he’s not been able to find help or an apprentice since 1998. I see this as another sad real life commentary on the disposable world we live in now. 

- Seen: when I look at a piece of chocolate there are 2 voices in my head. One says ‘you need to eat that chocolate,’ the other says ‘you need to eat that chocolate.’

- There’s just NO WAY Barack Obama did not patronize Epstein’s island.  There was a lot of money, a lot of influence, and a lot of lord knows what illegal drugs, some things the chosen one and his sycophants  were  well versed in.  You just know that  BHO, lil joe, et al, were frequent visitors. That’s like presuming a drunk not partaking of an open bar

- A Florida woman has sued Hersheys chocolate because the Reese’s pumpkin candy wasn’t cute enough…the lawsuit is asking for $5 BILLION is damages.  Seriously, she wants the financial equivalent of a nuclear submarine because she didn’t think her candy bar was as cute as represented on the package.

- Remember Ashli Babbitt!

- Dear drivers, a couple of things…

  • When the wind is blowing red dust to near zero visibility, please refrain from being idiots by driving 85MPH on curves 
  • Driving 30 in a 75 on a clear day may present a hazard to the rest of us
  • Everyone stops for gas…but everyone does not need to hear your stereo blasting sonic diarrhea…especially when you leave it blasting when you go inside the store.
  • Seriously, no one who’s ever gotten laid thinks your hyper jacked up truck with undercarriage lighting and mirrors taking up 4 lanes is cool, no one except other people who’ve never gotten laid.
- Midland TX may be getting a zoo (excludes humans)…this is fine as long as it is 100% privately funded. The moment it becomes a taxpayer responsibility it should be shut down. Note: if you want to see human zoos I could recommend several dive bars in Midland/Odessa that you’ll find interesting 

- More and more people I know are moving out of metropolitan areas to ***small*** towns. They not only know something I don’t and planned for it, or are just willing to take their chances to get away from metro.  I’m understanding this more and more with each passing day
