One of the hard won bits of wisdom provided by older age...assuming you're paying attention, is to be damn grateful for the things that did go well...and the lessons from the things that went less than well.

When the unhygenic and unapologetic are polluting your space without remorse, it's time to engineer some clever consequences.

Don't mind me, I drove a school bus to finish up my working days and have atrophied sympathy for bad behavior...because it only escalates if unchecked.

And I am grateful for you, as I’m sure are so many of your readers.

Also: a little pissed at the unhygienic individual you have mentioned.

One comes across the unhygienic in this life...

A quick heads up.

I don't know if you did this or Substack did, but everyone is now locked out of finishing reading your most recent post unless they download the Substack app or are paid.

I'm not going to download an app and I suspect others would feel the same way.

Pay isn't in the budget.

People do dislike a paywall or a twist your arm to download another annoying and questionably trustworthy app.
