You were only about 20, right?
I was thinking 13-14 age. As you know, I lead a very sheltered lifestyle until about age 35.

If I remember correctly it was Waukon to Waterville.
I got a little ahead of my team on that climb out of Waterville and decided to stop for some free water before we got to the Yellow River turn off. It turned out to be a Cyclone who was just giving out free bottled water out of the kindness of her heart. She said her parents met at ISU, just like Mrs. Velo and I did. It was a good thing I stopped there because there was nothing in the Yellow River park so I probably would have been pretty thirsty by Harper's Ferry.

I'm having a rather confrontational morning so far. Lotta anger floating around for some reason.
Doesn't really pertain to your post but I guess I replied anyway. Dude shows up to check out the dishwasher (still under warranty) to see what's wrong. I had diagnosed it for them 2 weeks ago when it broke. Dude says the part will take a week to get in, then says he hopes to get to it next week because he's on vacation the week after. I know he won't get around to it and it means we will be broke down for 4 weeks. It bothers my wife more than me because I don't mind washing dishes.
There is no Santa Claus and Han Solo died in the last movie
I was getting tired of people ******** and moaning this morning instead of just doing their work, so I called them out. I got a little salty. I told one guy that it was too bad there wasn't an app on his phone to fix his problem or he would've had it done by now.
He hasn't talked to me in an hour. I think I won on a few levels.

Sounds awful, but I'm still jealous.
Sitting here job searching for fall, and it is not looking pretty at all.
So my wife wanted me to send an E-mail to my daughter's school asking if there would be any issues pulling our daughter out for the eclipse. I may have made mention of the fact that over half the school was out to attend the Royals Championship parade a few years ago for good measure. I got a reply from the principal:
Good morning, Mr. Awesome (not my real name)
As a school, we will be observing the solar eclipse on August 21st. The school district has purchased special viewing glasses for all students and staff. Teachers will also be doing activities with students in the classroom to reinforce the experience and provide background information.
Sincerely,
Mr. I'm not Answering Your Question, But I'll Give You A Canned Politically Correct Response Instead (also not his real name)
Is "Ok, we'll see you on Tuesday then" a good response?

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, man...job hunting sucks.
Dear, Mr. I'm not Answering Your Question, But I'll Give You A Canned Politically Correct Response Instead
As a family, we will be observing the solar eclipse on August 21st. The family has purchased special viewing glasses for all parents and siblings. Parents will also be doing activities with their children in the field to reinforce the experience and provide background information.
Thank you,
Mr Awesome
Looking good already! I could do big things with you behind me telling me how great I am.

Thanks!
I'm trying to find a balance between livable and time to take care of Z, since our previous childcare providers provided all our allergy problems, and maybe even the occasional chance to finish the dissertation, but that's pretty much the last priority now.
Apparently, that's all kind of a challenge.

I'm gifted, sir, but it's easy to be gifted working for such a great human being.
Your presence unleashes all of the gifts.
