Did anyone else catch that??? That, my dear, is what elevates this story above & beyond your usual "dumb criminal" stories. Stephfon Bennett, my hat's off to you for being remarkably stupid in an already incredibly stupid society. You have raised (lowered?) the bar for all who follow!

Metaphorically, you're looking at the elephant & thinking, "I could never eat all that." Your "elephant" is flying with others for fun. The problem is your career gets in the way. In that case you need to prioritize. "One bite at a time." That's how one eats an elephant. Your first goal should be: Have enough money & time to complete my student jumps & earn an A-license without interruption!!!!! Once you earn a license, THEN you can concern yourself with "making friends" and socializing. My last personal elephant was a 1968 Dodge Dart. It took longer & cost more than I wanted, but in the end I have a nice car that's not only unique, but still very useful & easy to live with. There are precious few parts of this car I haven't rebuilt, replaced, or modified in some way. The result is a car that looks old but will hang with a modern sports car in most every category except MPG (feeding 375HP isn't cheap, but I manage about 17-20).

OK there's none under your bed, but I think I saw one under your pillow OMG you boys are so mean! Anyway, don't worry D..

I was just laughing to myself remembering my trip to the NY World's Fair in 1965 at the age of 11: There were so many things I wanted to see & didn't, yet Lincoln was one of the things I did see. Then I also remembered seeing a huge model train layout. That was good. Then my world came crashing down around me, because I also got dragged through Iiiiit's a small world after-all... I wanted to drown myself in the murky, smelly boat-ride-water by the time the torture ended! Yea, that debuted there also. Now I need a drink!

If I'm heading to or from my GF's, I drive all night (it's the ONLY way to get through Virginia without getting totally frustrated by the "I'm driving in the left lane & I NEVER use a rear-view mirror & I feel much safer driving along side this truck" citizens of said commonwealth.
