When I was a car salesman, I sold the, at the time, editor and chief of this magazine a car.

I was young and didn't know how to drive a stick. His office was about an hour from our dealership.

When I arrived, we did the paperwork, and I drove his old car back to the dealership. He tossed me his keys and said, "I hope you can drive stick."

The trip home sucked, but I know how to drive a stick now.

That's true. When I first moved to this town I had no service on my phone. My internet was essentially dial up. I had been with my carrier for over a decade. We had no towers to connect to. The company connected me to Canadian towers. Now, a decade later, we have our own towers and I have really fast fiber in the house. ( Not available everywhere in my town...yet) Service had improved greatly in the wilderness.

I’m guessing that they are able to navigate around their home but don’t go out of town regularly. I live in Topsham and get confused whenever I go to the Maine mall! 😅 I imagine that maybe she has had some cognitive decline since she got her license. Being under stress, maybe not eating or being dehydrated, all of that can make someone even more impaired than usual.

That is sad. It sounds like he drank the Qewelade. I don't know how to help people that get like that. They buy into the propaganda and lose their ever-loving minds. His livelihood is over. That is really hard for an artist. America does not participate in racism or wyt supremacy on paper. He could write a book. I'm sure Florida and Texas would allow it in their curriculum.

An airbag is always helpful if you get into a crash I won't disagree with that.

Okay now besides the typo joke it's up to the ladies family definitely. But there is a vast area of our state without service. You cannot deny the possibility of if this happens again they end up going into a deadzone and get lost.
