ngl I used to think that was some kind of placebo nonsense, like your brain wouldn't really care where you're at while listening. but I tried it on accident last week when I had to take a different route home and now I'm hooked. I saved a specific book for that one specific train car and now my brain literally starts getting excited when I see the seats I always sit in. it's like that spot becomes a little portal to the story world and I'm not even mad when we hit a delay anymore.

Didn't your hand fall asleep somewhere around minute 20?

Honestly I used to think those private estimators were just trying to sell me something. But hearing you got $15k more just from better local comps, that REALLY makes me rethink it.

Did you ever hear about my buddy Frank who tried to fix a leaky faucet with just a wrench and no Teflon tape? He thought it was an old wives' tale until his whole kitchen ceiling peeled from the water damage. Now he tapes every pipe joint three times over just to be sure.

That old farrier on Highway 68 sounds like a true character. My own experience with random shop wisdom ended with a guy in Missouri showing me a way to set the nail holes that left me with a hammer bruise on my thumb for two weeks. I still can't decide if he was helping me or hazing me. The one-hander for toe clips is something I've heard about but never seen done cleanly in person, most folks I know just make it look like a wrestling match with the anvil. Glad you got the full show instead of just the bill.
