We have more good news today. The guy who was delivering our new 2011 Chevy Cruze also drove off with our broken 2013 Hyundai Accent at a decent price that will more than pay off what we owe on it.
New car is being loaded in a trailer to be brought to our home. Should be here soon.
We got our new car... Loan... The vehicle itself will be delivered later. 2011 Chevy Cruze, 127,068 miles, looks new.

We drove about 45 minutes from home to look at a used car. We got here and the guy is taking another of his cars to the shop. Apparently it's a one-man operation. We have to wait another 40 minutes for him to get back. Hope it's worth it.

They will try to pit us against each other to distract us from the real problem. #TheEmpiresMustFall

We finally able to watch Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Yay.
With apologies to my LGBTIQ friends, this mostly-cishet male has decided that the platypus would be my perfect spirit animal. Please don't hate me for using it.

Reminder: when conservatives say them, "woke" = "CRT" = "PC" = "women's lib", and all of them mean "having to treat other people like they're people".

Those of you whose #masculinity is so fragile that you are threatened by the very existence of someone just trying to live their life in peace really need to fucking grow up.
Whether someone identifies as #gay, #straight, #trans or whatever has ZERO impact on you.
You are literally going through life pitching a goddamn temper-tantrum because you can't fucking get your head around the fact that someone out there might be different than you.
I don't understand a lot of things in this world myself, or a lot of people, but I sure as hell aren't going to go out of my way to make someone's life a living hell or mock them every chance I get.
Who the fuck raised you people?
Where's your fucking compassion?
Where's your fucking empathy?

The easiest thing in the world is to fool a man; the hardest is to convince him he has been fooled.

We arrived home safely. The cats were little angels and didn't leave anything for us to clean up that we have found yet. I am beyond tired and did not have a very happy day but I'm home with my babies.
We made it to Asheville so far, exit 33 off of I-26. 2 hours or so more and we'll be home. I-40 is a mess so we're going US-25.
Just about to leave Charleston to head home. There's wrecks in construction on the normal route home so they're routing us around it'll take us about 7 hours plus pit stops. The last 12 hours of not been kind. Need to get back to my support kitties.
Just had dinner at a Mexican restaurant near the Tanger Center in Charleston South Carolina. The food was very good, I felt really rushed by the waiter for ordering, and the restroom was an entirely negative experience. My full review is on Google Maps, La Hacienda.
