As a former firefighter, that combined with the crack at your foot there is more than slightly unsettling.

I wrote a 10,000 word essay on humane predator control methods the night before it was due and got a 100 on it. The professor liked it so much he used it as an example to future classes.

I've had the exact same setup since I moved in, and it was never a problem. But somehow it's my fault :/

Trying to convince my neighbor that my "fancy toys" (An ISP issued router and Echo Dot) aren't messing with her TV antenna and it's because we live 60 miles from where the TV stations are that she's getting shitty reception.

When sheps and yotes get together, one of two things happens.

Either the shep's herding instincts kick in and they constantly have to keep the coyote from doing coyote things, OR the shep acts like tritium in a nuclear explosion and just gives the coyote some really good ideas.

Sometimes I lie in bed and I wonder if any of my recorded calls were ever used for quality and training purposes.

Oh I didn't know you could do that! I use the app all the time for pickup but never tried the delivery option.

The irony of ironies. I'm a pilot that is scared of heights, for some reason flying doesn't bother me but most everything else does.

Things you don't want to hear while flying:
"Prepare to copy a phone number"
An engine stopping
A voice behind an oxygen mask referring to your airplane as a "TOI"
That same voice informing you that you've been intercepted by an armed air defense fighter.

Read your NOTAMS kids.

I had two "church greeters" come to my door because they "had a record of a Latino person living here" to "welcome them to our church".

Shortly after that the town's FB page started blowing up with sightings of/encounters with ICE agents.

You know you can just like, back up and try it again right? This ain't the CDL test where you get docked points for it.

Your stuff waaaaay back in the day (Endeavor Sea, I think you called it? Either way you had a country called The Union of Latrano and I thought that was awesome) was what inspired me to do my own worldbuilding. Been a fan of yours ever since.

I mean, it's been a while but I think I remember /some/ stuff :P

Hehe. It's still a fun game, though my old PC struggles with it sometimes.

I'd be up for some multiplayer sometime if our schedules align.

On a positive note: I love the credit they give to the enlisted and contract ground guys; The maintainers. No matter the mission or the airplane, We can't do what we do without you and I am honored to work with such dedicated men and women.
