I'm going on vacation *next Tuesday! We're driving south until it's aggressively springtime, and then we'll see what's next. Probably hiking, sleeping late, and waffle house. I'm a simple sort.

Edit- I have no concept of time. Boo.

Because the stupid people greatly outnumber the criminals. It's a volume issue.

My dad gave me advice a hundred years ago, and it's probably a George Carlin bit or something, but there's a difference in philosophy between drunks and stoners. A drunk will pound a beer, or sip from a personal flask, or bring their own six pack to a party. A stoner's first impulse is to light a joint and find someone to pass it off to. It's communal, and it brings others into the circle, where alcohol is isolating. Obviously it's a generalization, but it sort of fits.

Did you ever get into audio books? It's nice to have someone else read to you at bedtime or during a commute.

Yeah I'm not sure that's in DSM-5

I preload one or two gumball machines with quarters at the laundromat for nosy bored kids stuck there with their parent. I was that bored kid once, and now I'm at a place where I can give back a bit... I'll also try to win toys at the claw machine and leave them in the bottom, but the success rate is bad.
