I had a sad Chipotle experience yesterday. I got carry-out for me and mrs datlas. The bag was next to me in the car. When I got home, the bottom of the bag broke just as I was holding it over my lap in the car and all kinds of sofritas juice and the entire contents of the bag fell onto my lap. The actual meals stayed intact but obviously there was a bunch of leakage that I was not aware of. I ran inside and took a quick shower and then we ate.
Today, my car really smells like Chipotle. I will have to clean up the seats over the weekend.
The food still tasted good.

Front tire got this today. Thankfully didn’t go flat but not sure if it’s safe to ride.
I have to say I am not a fan of this Bontrager R3 tires. Not very puncture resistant IMO.

best to leave the window open in the rain. The mildew smell will mask the chitpole smell.

There was some upheaval at the first audio shop that I worked at, and a new manager was brought in to run the store. He was a ******g pig, and his car looked similar to this. Out of the four doors, the driver's was the only one that could be opened without diet Pepsi bottles and food wrappers spilling out. Not surprisingly, he was a **** manager, too.

Would you mind letting me know your flight schedule every few months so I can avoid yours?

After the 2008 crash, there were a couple of houses in our neighborhood that were specs that the builders had a hard time selling. One of them was next door to ours.
Some guy found out about them, and would talk the builders into leasing them to him one-by-one. The guy would lease one, move in, and then never pay rent. He would just squat until the owner could get him out. When he was booted from the one next to us, every floor and countertop in the house looked like that car. Fast food bags and containers were a foot deep on the floors and counters. Sunny D and cheap wine bottles were another two foot deep everywhere you looked. He ended up doing that to three houses in our little neighborhood until people got wise.
Came to find out that the Sunny D bottles in that quantity are a sign of a meth addict. Seems that it help them recover after a bad binge.
I never met the guy, but saw him a few times. He was a really weird duck, but to see him you'd think he was just some rich weird dude. Both he and his partner drove $200k Mercedes.

I was in a conference room in a courthouse outside of Fort Worth a couple of years ago. On the wall was a sign that said, "No feet on the wall." Duh!
