4 Sexy Firemen, 1 Firetruck and a Gas Station

Recommended Posts

These things were all a part of my afternoon today.

I pulled into the gas station & started pumping gas. It was so cold so I decided to let the pump run by itself so I could put my hands in my pockets. It was taking forever & I was freezing cold. I was chatting with the guy on the other side of the pump who was complaining of the same thing.

So anyway, my car holds about 14 gallons and I'm standing there looking at the gallons gauge on the gas pump and it's getting close to 14 gal but the pump never did turn off like it should so I stopped it myself. Quite frankly, I was tired of standing there too. I got in the car and I started smelling gas, and I mean a lot of gas, much more than the normal amount that you'd smell at a gas station.

I thought that I'd spilled gas on myself so I got out to wipe my hands with the provided wipes. Then I noticed a huge puddle under my car. I got on my knees to look under the car and that's when I saw gas pouring out all around the gas tank.

Not pouring out around the gas flap where you put the gas in the car but pouring out the tank under the car.

So, to make a long story short, I ended up having to have my car towed to the mechanic and in order to have it towed the fire department had to come and inspect the scene to make sure it was safe since it was a large amount of gas.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
