From the “Mrs Smith Survived Nick’s First Time As Pilot In Command!” Dept:

Today was Nicholas' first official day behind the wheel for the first two of six required hours of check rides before he can apply for his learner's permit from DMV and experience the joys of graduated licencing. To say he was more than a little bit nervous was a grand understatement. Very excited to be taking yet another step toward adulthood to be sure but very nervous just the same. Truth be told, he has…

In our previous episode, a package from Addison IL shipped on 08 Aug 2020 was encountering the shipping equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle by which it went from Concord to Durham to…Kernersville (?!?)…before apparently going back to a FedEx facility in Concord for another try.

OK, I will stipulate for the record that traveling I-40 was pretty much a monumental amount of suck pretty much from the east end to past the mess that is White Oak just west of the county line. But only the first third of it can be blamed on that scary wall of water descending in one fell swoop from those nasty rain clouds. Once we got past that epic waterfall that people who have…
