Generally, though I might be tempted to check what it's like on the other side of ...whatever that thing is. I've seem many times when one person parks way off center, but just barely within the lines, so the car next to it is parked even more off center, actually ON the line, and the one after that is over the line. And it all starts with one person.

Of course, it's easier to take this stance when you're not terribly concerned about the cosmetic condition of your car.
Yeah, that fender seemed to have a good amount of bounce.

Boy, wouldn't that burn your biscuits, if you'd paid $150K for a big fancy Merc, and somebody says, "Is that an International Harvester Travelall?"

I'm taking this week off, since it's one of those where you can get 9 days off in a row for only the price of 3 vacation days. I WAS going to take Rango for walks every day, but Mrs. GeneJockey had the bright idea to put a rug in the Foyer, so Rango. wouldn't slip on the hardwood floor. I was getting ready for a walk, and Rango got all excited and bounded onto the rug, which then slid out from under him and somehow he cut the skin on his left rear foot. I didn't discover this till we were half a block into the walk and he was slowing down, rather than his usual trot that I can ONLY JUST keep up with. So, now he's got a bandage and is on the Injured Reserve List, poor boy!
I met the sweetest greyhound this weekend at a friendsgiving gathering. I was not expecting her to be so tall!

I'm almost annoyed that it's so close. It's not even worth riding a bike to!

The first time I ever saw a Tesla I had to ask; I'd never seen the insignia before. These days I see an unfamiliar insignia almost every time I go to the city.

One friend who has a Tesla will go on at length about how great they are and what a visionary Elon is. He's on his second Type S and is still giddy about it. He rides an e-bike these days so he doesn't come to club rides but I see him once in a while on the road and we have stopped for coffee.
He's really a nice man and I'm glad to see him but the Tesla talk is too much. Tried to convince me I should get one. "You'll save so much on gas". Dude, I drive less than 5k miles per year.

But I wouldn't want to work for him. I already did my time working for an ******* genius.

To give the Elmo his due, a lot of people thought he'd never be able to get so far. AND the Supercharger network makes them actually practical, which is more than you can say for other electric cars. I mean, WE would be fine with one, because we don't generally do road trips, but if you do, they may be somewhat anxiety inducing.
But I wouldn't want to work for him. I already did my time working for an ******* genius.

"Elmo", lol. It seems he is melting down before our eyes.

They’re quite nice for around town purposes, but I won’t travel with it. It can be done, but it takes planning and more time to get to the destination.
