I am "working" from home today.
I do not have pants on.

My favorite thing about this time of year are the 100 year olds getting in their cars for the only time this year and being absolute terrors on the road. Big Jesus take the wheel action.
Wife's 95 year old grandma misplaced her drivers license and went get a new one. They made her do a driving test and she failed it. Badly. She had grievances that "oh so I parked a little outside the line, or i couldn't drive over the line, or this or that, but it was clear she couldn't see the lines.
Blamed the DOT, the test administrator, and pretty much everyone else that she couldn't get her license back. She would have to take a driving course to get it back now. Since she's 95 she's pretty much given up on that.
That's too bad. It's a good opportunity for an inspirational story of a 95 year old lady to overcome the odds and get her drivers license restored.
No she gave up on the test. She's 95 so she's just driving without a license now.
Nice, more of a fight the system type story.
When I was a kid my grandparents used to always talk about how great it was that my great grandma was still driving into her 90's. I think she stopped around 95 years old too. But I'll never forget the ONE time she actually took me somewhere, she never got over 10-15 mph. Thank god it was in a small town, but still.
Now looking back at it, she should not have been allowed to drive for years if that's how she was doing it. It was ****ing mind blowing.

Sounds like people getting onto the state highways and interstates in omaha.
self driving cars are gonna save a lot of lives. Should be mandatory for everyone over 80 once they're fully up and running.
Ugh, the olds that stop on the on-ramp too. They always do it as I glance back to see how my merge is looking.
You should see how bad they **** up driving in the roundabouts here in CF. Immediately turn into this guy the second they come up on one
Just a few days ago an 80-something lady lost control and ran over another elderly lady in a nearby mall parking lot.
Not too long ago I was getting on 680 northbound from center street and someone was going real slow in front of me, like 25mph slow. It's an uphill onramp. They then stopped in the middle of the lane and waved me around them to pass them on the shoulder. It was ****ing bonkers. I then had maybe like 100 meters to get up to 65mph.
Like why did he do that???
My great grandma rode her brakes. 10-15 mph as well. Really sucked when my school bus got stuck behind her.
An old lady lost control once at a place I worked at and pinned and a worker between their car and a building. When they finally came back to work a year later we had to find a place to put her computer chair because she couldn't fit two chairs at her desk.
Because she got fat? or Because she had two seperate bodies split in half? Or because one for her wheelchair and one for her chair chair?
When I was a kid, my Grandfather would drive me on the highway and he would drive 25 MPH slower than the other cars.
The other cars would honk and he would point his finger at the roof of his car. I still don't know what that meant.

Time for a very special Christmas gift:
Not sure why suicide capsules need to look like what an old person thought the future would look like.
My favorite is them backing out of a parking spot. Obviously they can’t turn to see if anyone is coming so they just back up at a snails pace so anybody coming sees them and stops.
They actually thought we'd do it out in a nice field with no outlets?
Hopefully the have some hay bales around it so they can have some peace as they die.
I don’t see any of the FEMA/SBA employees staying at home.Obviously Government workers "working" from home
I remembered my 90ish year old great grandfather driving me to our deer hunting spot sometime back in the mid 90’s. It was still dark and he was making a turn onto a gravel road and drove halfway into the ditch. He cursed the county up and down for “moving the road”. I always thought he was full of shit and that moment always stuck with me. A few years ago I pulled up google earth and drug through the historic satellite photos and the photo quality isn’t the greatest, but it does appear they probably altered the road sometime during the 70’s or 80’s.
So much adversity. What a great piece it could have been on the local noon news.
