My brother in laws dad was a judge for 30+ years in a southern state.

Never went to law school. Just sat for the BAR exam for the hell of it, passed, and the rest is baffling to me.

Maybe I’ve been lucky but always gotten along with people, been prudent, and never had issues.

Lived in major cities. Been in the military. It’s pretty easy to just be cool.

America’s Test Kitchen. All you need. Recipes for nerds.

I heard one black box where the pilot’s final words were just a very resigned, almost conversational, “Goddamnit.”
