Your Bag of Nothing for Wednesday, January 15, 2025

  • I caught a bit of a break yesterday. I’ve mentioned some problems and concerns with the Chevy Bolt I purchased and the undisclosed prior damage. Thankfully, the dealership is trying to make right and loaned me this Alpha Romero with just a little over 2,500 miles while they work on my car. It drives a lot different than my old Nissan Leaf. I forgot what it’s like to ride, much less drive a luxury sports car. I was so scared to drive it off the lot since the service employee was anal, documenting every little possible mark. I’m amazed at how smooth it drives and how surprisingly comfortable it is, especially for a car sitting so low to the ground. I’m not used to the impressive acceleration, and when I turn on a dime, I don’t feel the sensation of compensating by leaning in the opposite direction. The stereo sounded great, much better than I expected. And I cranked that sucker up. Oddly, the max volume level is 38. That’s odder than 11, I suppose. And yes, I was rocking to Celine Dion and singing at the top of my lungs because, for the first time in a long time, I was really, really, really enjoying myself. I can’t recall the last time I felt so giddy. When you go without nice stuff for a while and then get a taste of it again, you sure do notice all the little things.

  • Thomas Edison was so upset with his son’s ineptitude in business that he paid him $35 a week to use a different name (Jr to then use Thomas Willard). The senior Edison then set him up on a mushroom farm with the hope that he would eventually become self-sufficient. Instead, Thomas Jr. wound up in a sanitarium.
