No, but the peace of mind would be there.

I mean I can literally see the Subaru dealership if I stand on the balcony.

Not necessarily unhappy, but it just isn't the perfect fit. At this point in my life, I'd rather have something a bit more practical, that's a bit more comfortable, that'll get to the next red light faster.

Ok, that makes sense. Why didn't you just say so in the first place?

Getting to the next red light faster just means you've wasted more gas to drive the same distance. Doesn't sound very practical...

Ya know, I can identify with that. When I go out to our garage, I have two choices, my FR-S or a sedan, with a very quiet V-6, with 250 HP and 250 ft\lbs of torque, 6 speed auto with manual mode and paddle shifters, wide, soft HEATED seats, an engine that warms up fast ........ and it has a practically indestructible rear bumper ().

Which shall I drive ......

Well, he did put up curtains, so the dealer won't have to call the law and report what they see ......

Jesus fucking Christ.

Off to a wonderful start to this fucking morning.

Girlfriend asked me "hey, do you think this message is a scam?" and showed me a text she received from some sketchy looking email address. I say "Of course it is, look at that senders address".

So, of course she replies with "Fuck, I put in a lot of info". So I start to get anxious and say "like what?". Turns out her SIN being the one thing she managed to get out before bursting into tears. I asked her why she thought the government would send her a text message about income tax, and she started crying even harder.

Really, really, really not fucking pleased. I'm sitting 6 feet away from her, and she doesn't even have the brains to ask about it being a scam before putting in precious personal info. So, I gave her all the resources she needs to at least mitigate the effects of her absolutely stupid, moronic decision.

Hopefully the fallout isn't too bad. There isn't enough baileys in the world to make this morning any better.

Nice to have choices.

Ahhh yes,.......the rainy season in San Jose ......

Since the hills would get muddy ....... I would ride my dirt bike down in the percolation ponds (Guadalupe Creek) off of Coleman Road (close to where I lived).

Looking at GE, it appears that they have cleaned them up and fenced them off ....

Guadeloupe is where the homeless encampments usually are nowadays. So that’s probably why it’s fenced, though I don’t think it helps the problem so much.
