@asmaahsan ... another drive one for you

"He was right, he was right
As he sped along
But he's just as dead
As if he'd been wrong"

Safe driving

Bighuey did a movie quote, so I figured it was fair game:

"I don't want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it."
Richard in "Me and You and Everyone We Know" by Miranda July

It's my favorite film.

My dad had some very colorful sayings, but they are too colorful to put here.
