Like, I don’t really enjoy airing all of my dirty laundry on here, but when I heard the idling diesel of a pickup parked against me at 9 p.m. for 10 minutes, I sort of knew what was coming.

It’s an industrial zone, so tractors at that hour are unremarkable. Pickups, on the other hand …

They finally headed north and clearly made a U-turn, because next thing I knew, I was hit. Now, you don’t want to confront people in Texas. If they’re willing to drive into you, guessing at their armaments is folly.

Something needs to be accelerated here. I’ve now been attacked. I didn’t have that on my bingo card for the week, but that’s pretty much everything. Musk killing the administrative state sucks, but this is not currently my main concern.

      I could see that being annoying. The lock on my van broke several months ago, so I don’t really like to leave it, since I can only lock the deadbolt from the inside. I can lock the door in the bulkhead, but everything next to that is built such that someone could easily get into the cargo area with a screwdriver. The illusion of safety.
