1. What’s your “death missed me by seconds” story?
OK. Don’t judge too much. I was just a fourth grader. But on winter mornings, my pal Clancy and I would walk over this bridge, and as the school bus whizzed past, we would reach out with our gloved hands, touch the bus along its bodywork, and try to run down its full length. Eventually, we got into real trouble with that, as it was very icy and prone to slipping under the bus’s wheels. We were called into the principal’s office and met by our fathers, who read us the riot act.
As good little boys, we started using the pedestrian bridge next to the roadway bridge.
2. What is an underrated skill in this modern world?
The ability to sharpen knives and keep them sharp.
3. What will turn out to be this generation’s ‘oh shit, smoking causes cancer’ moment?
Either the addictive short-form video algorithms are addicting both children and adults, or limiting the cognitive development of society.
Or, GLP-1s. (Says the guy who has been on them for over ten years. )
4. What is the largest, least evil company in the world
Costco. Damn, fine people. And my company, Camping World. There is actually a line in the employee handbook that is the golden rule of the company
“Don’t be an asshole.”
5. Have you been watching the World Cup? Who is going to win?
France. That way I can say my new favorite word more often. MBappe!
1) Too many to count actually. There’s the metal rod that I fell on from a ladder that went through my scrotum and hit my pelvic bone, thus stopping it from making me a human popsicle. Let’s just go with that one today.
2) Speaking clearly when replying and listening to people and responding in kind to what they actually said.
3) Wireless signals.
4) Chobani yogurt. A solid owner thinks they enough money and sells a large part of the company to the employees.
5) Nope and don’t know don’t care.
1) Once while driving over Monarch pass I did a full 720in my car without going off the pass. I think I might have died a little bit inside.
2) Being on time for things.
3) Kombucha, it’s spreading the fungus to everyone’s brains and it’s going to mutate causing horrible effects including but not limited to: headaches, nausea, anal leaking, blindness, intractable vomiting, coma or death.
4) Bosch they are literally in everything. They have no shareholders. All profits go to workers and back into development. They are probably in everything single electronic item out there.

5) Meh a highlight here & there. I love the big goofy fuck from Norway.
