There is a big market out there for anything that will allow people to think they know more than people who actually know stuff. All those kids on the playground who used to beat up "Poindexters", and the other kids who cheered those bullies on, have all grown up with their inferiority complexes fully intact.

Not as nice as our boat, for better or worse.
Barring bad weather, it'll be done by the end of the week, except for the inevitable punch list.
No ****. Much archeology being revealed here, including the fact that what I thought was a single addition is in fact two additions of different ages.
We've been planning for this for a while.
They're making good progress on the back.

A couple years back a judge ruled that Tucker's content need not be true. Something about not representing his BS as actual news.
Also read today that some are now claiming drinking urine is a cure for Covid. Nothing should surprise us anymore.

The rest of the area is prolly not much better. It's been a few decades, but when I was in my 20's I went to visit my grandparents in Hollywood Florida and rode my bike to Miami and back. It was scary and not something I would recommend, and I can only imagine that traffic has gotten worse in the past 30 years.

There's an area mileage maniac I follow on Strava who goes down there every now and then. I've not examined the routes he rides.

The seatpost has arrived! And me with several more hours of work to do, including my annual self evaluation. These are difficult for those of us who perpetually suffer from bad self-image.
