Also less mosquitoes and biting flies. School is in session so crowds are down until holiday travel begins.

Depending on the state, I’d much rather have a bio break, snack, and stretch my legs at a rest stop. Picnic benches, shade and a view, even a pet relief area. Many have water stations to refill bottles. Does require I’ve stocked the car with meals and snacks. In general filling stations lack the nicer amenities, most just suitable for gas and go.

Due to using thorn in written English, you’d be yeeted to England circa 800 - 1600 CE.

Mosquitos are a vector for pathogens such as parasites or diseases. The parasites or diseases do the killing, not the mosquitos.

YSK bears have three pairs of nipples, better bring the sextuple twist or you’ll be a bear stain

Than you for noticing me commenting

TIL the leopards in Russia are critically endangered. Hopefully eating faces can help their numbers rebound.

What about the Shakers?

Preface by saying I hate practical jokes. I regularly commuted to work by bicycle and kept my bike in my cubicle. One day a coworker known for practical jokes moved my bike to the warehouse and hid it under sheets of cardboard. Took over an hour after work for me to find it. Shifted my ride time so I endured the peak of rush hour, not funny.

Next day I saw the same coworker had left the keys to his mid 70’s Jeep Grand Wagoneer on his desk. Grabbed the keys, threw my bike in the back and drove about four miles away and parked behind a building in a complex of light industrial businesses. Many running three shifts so lots were always parked up. Rode my bike back to work and handed my coworker his keys and said it’s within a five mile radius and good luck. Didn’t stop his pranking but never pranked me again.

Took a long drive through the flyover states last month, happy to report seeing this sticker on a few gas station pumps

The West side has Sharks and Jets, what’s the East side got, Snark and Jest?

IIRC, some crossbows were foot cocked, that would be leg day. (Maybe that also would also explain Quentin Tarantino’s fetish, Cupid shot him with a foot cocked crossbow)

To add, the shift to car centric began with jay walking laws in the 1920’s. A quarter century before the first boomers were born.

You’d think that people would have had enough of silly love songs

I find the flavor notes ruined when Costa Rican hydrogen is paired with Rwandan Peaberry. Mufumbiro sourced hydrogen is required for true connoisseurs.
