Elon’s plan of ridding the US of all who aren’t ultra-rich will begin in earnest soon. We’re easily replaced by robots and we’re all so annoying. Guess it’ll be a new take on Survivor.
Last time I went to get something from a home store, I couldn’t find the plumbing part I needed (had a list of options from the faucet kit I’d bought). The guy “helping” me was absolutely clueless. The way he did help was to stall me in the section until another customer/handy man kind enough to point out where the things were.
To me it seems there’s ALWAYS someone one outside one of the houses on the block. But it is a gardener who is running a horribly noisy leaf blower. There seems to be no hour for a peaceful walk because there is always one somewhere on the route.
Definitely not this year for me. I’ve started responding with, “Hope it’s better than I could ever imagine.”
