Could go somewhere local, get what you want and just drive it home.

I’ve bought 8 cars out of state in the past 10 years and have saved as much as $6k-$7k on a single vehicle. Rarely can local dealers in Louisiana compete with larger dealerships in other states.

Example: When I bought my first C7 Vette, the local dealer had 2. When I looked at it, they had the sales manager present it with all of the other salesmen lined up behind him in formation. They let me sit in it after they started it but wouldn’t let me test drive it (and I was trading in a Porsche 911 so obviously wasn’t just looking for a joy ride). So I went to Atlanta and bought one from a dealer that had 49 Vettes on the lot.

Where do you think I got the better price?

They were on the road right after dark. Just cruise a couple loops around the park right at dark and they’ll be sitting on the road. Lots of babies out now so easy to miss.

I believe giving him the idol was contingent on Eric playing his Shot in the Dark first, which he didn’t do.

Watch your step in the park - I caught 5 copperheads there one night last week.

Adults will do it as well. Many snakes do it - kings, rats, racers, etc.…If they are in dry leaves it can be very audible. I’m sure many harmless snakes have had their heads blown off as a result.

I enjoy knowing you're another day closer to when, not if

No different than many other hobbies. When I raced motocross, crashing was a matter of when, not if. Luckily I got by with broken bones but no paralysis or death. Some hobbies have risks. We choose whether or not to accept those risks. I feel much safer handling snakes than I did riding dirt bikes.

Surgery, especially back surgery, is not always a success, and in many cases the pain after the procedure is worse

I was glad to have an honest surgeon. He said, “We do neck/back surgery for arm/leg pain, not for neck/back pain. If your neck/back pain improves, consider it a bonus.”

He was right. I had an anterior cervical discectomy/fusion at C5-6-7 for C6 radiculopathy. Some issues resolved, but new symptoms I never had before the surgery arose. Now 20 years later I’m starting with C4/5 radiculopathy, which is likely related to the additional stress put on the levels adjacent to the fusion. I haven’t addressed it yet, but I wouldn’t have another fusion.

ETA: When you pick it up, remember to support the mid part of the body. Holding them by the tail makes them want to climb upward. Support the body well and he’ll be chill while you handle him.

From my understanding, trephination has to be done in the first 24-48 hours - after that it’s too coagulated. This wasn’t really that bad the first couple days. It ballooned up on the 3rd day.

Wait…you’re supposed to manage your diabetes? Frick.
I guess that’s why my A1C is 12.7.
My cardiologist reluctantly prescribes some baseline meds (that I sometimes take) as he yells at me to get a primary care doctor for the past couple years.
