In MY ‘mumble-mumble’ decades, I can honestly say I don’t EVER recall seeing an add for an SUV (and trucks especially) that wasn’t 100% about dyk swinging self-absorption and gratification, showy affectation, and out-doing the Jones and everyone else – for a monthly payment bigger than a mortgage.
I deal with European companies and craftsman – they take WEEKS off (both during the winter holidays, and during late summer also). They make our 3-day weekends look pretty ludicrous in terms of actual time-away and restive/restorative breaks from work…
This would border on funny if it wasn’t actually possible; ‘drone abuse’ by idiots has gotten silly. I know I guy who got his drone shot out of the sky with a shotgun because he flew it over a neighbor’s house while the guy’s teenage dotter sunbathed. And he had the gall to gripe about it. I told him he was lucky the guy didn’t shoot HIM.
While I fully understand – and enjoy – the competitive sentiments sports involves…I cannot for the LIFE of me understand how anyone who doesn’t have piles of money to squander on a worthless/fruitless addiction allows themselves to be sucked into the black hole of sports betting. It’s absurd. How many lives ruined, spouses beaten, crimes committed as a consequence of people indulging this sickness???
…especially when half the couple is a smokin’ bayb like Toni.
