Didn't stay up late; somehow still paying for it. Need to go get new board shorts because mine don't fit anymore. Have Hannah myself today so Wifey and Haley can finish a school project.

I’ve got to stop playing chess at night. Sleep is more important.

Currently sitting outside of the ski shop to drop off Haley's rentals. A really old guy (jbp timeline) in a new Audi A8L with handi tags just pulled up in front of the store and parked immediately in front of the door. Not the handi spots 15' away, in the fire lane blocking the handi ramp. Got out and is now sitting on a bench in front of the door. Different level of rich old guy arrogance there. He was definitely struggling to walk, so I get wanting to park close, but that's ridiculous. Also, the idea that you can barely walk but fully drive is terrifying.

Which means that he probably doesn't have the leg strength to forcefully apply the brakes in an emergency situation. That's why my dad gave up his lic in his early 80s. he saw the wreck happen in front of him, got on the brakes but wasn't strong enough to stop the car short of impact.

not to be a dick....but i imagine brake technology has improved quite a bit since your dad was in his 80's....

is he not well into his late 90's with a full head of hair...
