  1. My parents have 2 cars. They both have damage to the rear bumpers because my dad refuses to use the backup camera. He hit a car in a parking lot and backed into the fence pulling out of the driveway. I saw this happen with my grandparents. Grandad was a perfect driver his whole life, then he had 3 accidents in a short period of time. The first 2 were minor fender benders. The last one was a head on collision that damn near killed both of them. Cognitive decline is a thing. Technology is your friend, and can help you prolong your useful time on earth. Grandad eventually had his drivers license revoked because the 3 incidents in a short time period triggered a cognitive evaluation, and he failed the test. It’s sad to see my dad headed down the same road and stubbornly refuse to acknowledge it. If I am in a car with them, I am driving. Mom is fine, but patriarchal bullshit/stubborn pride leads my dad to insist on being the driver if it is just the two of them. He will probably have a serious accident sometime soon, and it will probably take that happening for him to admit that he’s in decline. From a selfish perspective, if he would just use the fucking backup camera, my sister and I wouldn’t be having a conversation about dad’s driving. It would’ve probably bought him a couple of years of nobody noticing his driving is becoming a problem. From a practical perspective, maybe his stubborn ignorance is the canary in the coal mine. We’ve identified the problem before there are any real consequences, but unfortunately it’s going to take some consequences for him to acknowledge the problem. It’s not a fun thing to watch happen in real time.
  2. We spent a few weeks in the mountains during peak Covid and really enjoyed it. Drove up and back from DFW to a little cabin one of the wife’s cousins owns. A little too small town for me, but it’s a lovely place to spend a week or two. Wouldn’t move there. Our Venn diagram is also complicated. We don’t know what the fuck we are doing at this point, but it’s not Texas.
  3. I knew a girl who is now a doctor who got lost walking from the DG house to my place at 23rd & San Gabriel. Walk two blocks south and hang a right was too much for her. She called me from the pay phone at C-Mart and I went and picked her up because she was hot. Smart and dumb are situational concepts. If I dropped the wife off in the middle of nowhere, with a car and a phone, she would die of starvation. She’s pretty good at teaching your kids how to read though.
  4. Larry Johnson (UNLV) lost points for misspelling his name. Had to do a couple of years at SanJac.
  5. You need to be crowdsourced.
  6. Waking up to find out you are 6 pages behind on this thread is a nice little Sunday morning treat.

  8. Poor aggy
  9. Can we ban a poster from a single thread? I don’t think I’ve ever negged anyone for having a shitty opinion, but Derka has me itching to pull the trigger.
  10. I’d like a safety and a DT.

  14. if you want me to do the dishes, don’t stack up so much shit on the side of the sink with the disposal that it takes me 15 minutes just to be able to drain the sink. Leave it on the counter, put it on the other side of the sink, but don’t clog the sink on a heavy dish night.

  16. There are some really tall people who just don’t like playing basketball.
  17. I would appreciate it if you picked up my wallet. I left it there. I’m normally in LA for Thanksgiving, but not this year.

  19. It was. But that was allowed back then. I felt that hit in my bones in the stands. I empathized with the Tech kicker, I felt his pain, then had a good laugh while I refreshed my Jack and coke. Vasher was the most violent given both guys were going full speed. Kindle damn near decapitated their QB. Brackens wins the bronze medal for big hits against the tortilla throwers. If we could find a way to work Bryant Westbrook into this conversation this thread would be complete.
  20. I could go either way on this. In a sense, it is treating them as complete equals to their regular Olympic counterparts.
