Life Comes At You Fast

I was reading how to cook a steak in a pan. Not riveting material. At the same time, I was crossing Spring Garden which is a 4 lane road. There were two guys who were 11 paces ahead of me traversing safely. My head was down like a mindless peon and I was going on...

How Bout Those Kansas City Swifties!

If the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, I’ll win about $1,800 on my futures bets. I have $250 to win $2,058. A futures bet means I bet them before it was vogue to be a Chiefs fan. Now every dumbass Swiftie jumps on this band wagon, and it’s too late for me to...
