this is exactly where i was going to go. damn mind readers. also, i for one welcome our @magicrealismbot overlords.

damn, now i have to come up with a few ideas... how about a session ale called "everything in monderation" or a sour called "anime block" (for the wild color, not the attitude). maybe a strong ale called "zeni's method" or a hazy ipa named after any of the resident stoners. this could be fun.

also @NaBron_James lol

whoa simba. trucks tend to move a little faster at night on the interstate, esp out in the middle of nowhere. it's nothing to see them moving 10+ over the limit if traffic is light.

i'm sure the employees at all the dc's call their respective bases "headquarters" and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. we like to call the place here in town "the empire" because they're expanding operations faster than the romans. one of my good friends spent a couple weeks in ardmore when they opened that dc in 2005-ish, to help train pickers and spotters.

the warehouse in ardmore is a regional distribution center, one of a dozen across the continent. the corporate hq is about a quarter mile from my house. 1500+ trucks roll in and out of there on a schedule. we have just a couple truckers in this community.

you ever see any of these guys over there?

you know it's 4real when you can shit through a screen door.

in that case, can i pick the animal?

i thought it came from bones and hooves?

some OTR drivers prefer to run at night because less traffic or whatever. they're only allowed to run for so many hours per day/week, so they treat driving like clocking in and do it for the same 8 or 10 hours every day. team drivers can swap out and stay on the road for a lot longer, which is great for the company. there's several married couples here that team drive for the big distro. actually, you probably see those blue DOT trucks over there some too. as for being good people...eh. it's like any industry i think. the assholes probably just don't strike up the conversation or offer to buy, so you don't notice them.

i have no idea what's going on here ...um, yes.

who swings a cane these days?

"practice what you preach" fits pretty well right here.

actually, now that you and lupin have each mentioned it, he was being condescending... meh, whatever. i was halfway through typing out a response when the power went out a few hours ago. now that i'm back online, i don't really care. defend shitty behavior if you want.

anyways, the reason i came to this thread this morning: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/28/tax-refunds-are-ticking-up-with-the-average-check-now-more-than-3000.html

nah. kn has made it clear over the years that he knows a great deal about (his) finances. that entire post was out of line. how about this: if someone strolls into your mentions, telling you, the (professional?) writer, that you need to go back and study high school grammar with the attitude lupin brought, you're telling me you won't take a giant shit on them? lupin rattled the wrong cage with his tax "advice" and kn served him in kind.

my sister would love you.

yeah, it's coming this weekend. one last gasp (hopefully) and winter should start retreating. shit, up in sponges' territory and farther north, they got FEET of snow in the last week.

that's what i'm telling U bitch

i feel like anything as warm as usda zone 8 doesn't technically experience more than a couple days of winter.

meteorological spring starts tomorrow.

see, that's what every backyard needs. a place to create and build and grow. especially if there's kids in the mix. i was just reading a study (but it's just one study! i get that) saying people who are more exposed to green and growing stuff as children tend to suffer from significantly less depression and anxiety as adults.

as for op, i'm very jealous. spring cleaning/yardwork is like, one of my favorite things. i'ma just look thru the fence and drool while you get yours going.
