I grew up in a culture where you only shared spots with your closest friends and everyone knew not to ask for spots but if they did, they assumed they would get a bullshit answer.
I learned an easy way to prevent getting burned by friends. Just don't make friends.
Congratulations, I think you are going to like perpetual Saturdays. I retired from the Forest Service 10 years ago, but I still have frequent dreams that I am still working. The one thing the dreams all have in common is that something is always going wrong and I have to deal with it. I'm not...
