Just so you know @ticklepig.bsky.social I've been through your neck of the woods a few times recently on I-35. Hi! 👋

used to be we didn't know what a catch was (still not sure) and now we don't know what a fumble is

At some point in the near future I will watch AEW's tributes to The Butcher and PAC. I don't know if I'm ready to shed tears in my truck right now. Maybe when I get back to Des Moines.

Bought the pretty blue one in May! Highly recommend.

Forgot to mention that I saw a Maybach in the flesh on Sunday night along with a bunch of other German vehicles.

I've been hesitant to say it, but it feels like a bunch of white people want to prevent Black people from earning money for their hard work (where have I heard that before?) The more things change...

Early morning car spotting in Albuquerque.

Hey there Pablo. Have always loved your work. Congratulations on the Pulitzer! Hmm... Where have I heard of that church? Oh, wait; there's one in my neck of the woods...

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

DAMN! I was just in Chattanooga a couple of weeks ago. Didn't know he was from there. 2026, stop taking the wrong people! 💔

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Y'all, I ant got nothing. First The Butcher, now PAC. What the fuck is going on. 2026 is on the some bullshit right now. 💔

No dog in the fight, but ... Iowa won! And I smell College GameDay comin' to Iowa City next weekend! Wonder who the guest picker could be. I have a suggestion.

Does it run on regular diesel or red dyed diesel?

I watched a friend play Turok: Dinosaur Hunter. It was actually halfway decent.

It is September 25th. Christmas is 3 months away. Why. WHY. WHY?!?!?!?

"Agent" is what I scream at AT&T when I want to talk to a human being.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Saw the Wienermobile again. NBD. Had to hit 80 in the car to catch up to it. ("Catch up." Get it?) Someone was hauling ass south on I-35.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

It's actually called "The Bug"; that's one of the lines in the song by Mary Chapin Carpenter ;)

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Hmm. Where have I heard that before? OH WAIT. They were in Des Moines in May 2025

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Nope, nope, nope. Skipping.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

On the left is what I ordered. On the right is what I got. I should have checked my bag, but how do you mix up fries and tots? Is it me, or has fast food quality gone to absolute shit the last few years? Is it still COVID related, or is it just badly trained people? Bring in the robots.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I see no lies detected. People just want their stuff. They don't give a damn how it gets on the shelves. And what they probably think they know about trucking comes from the wrong sources.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

As someone who loved him in NJPW, I admit I like him even more now.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Because I have some spare time on my hands today. You know where to go to generate your own.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Mine have been bounced around for decades. Now it's MOHELA handling things. Before it was Navient and before that, Sallie Mae proper.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Reposting this today. I'm very low key about being bi. 50, Black, blue-collar. I don't make a big deal about it. Probably the 5th or 6th thing you should know about me. More theoretical than practicing. I keep my head down, look at everyone no matter how they identify, and grin. As you were.

I know shit has gotten real because JitB used to be the last bastion of cheap late night eats Just came back from one in Albuquerque. Jumbo Jack cheeseburger and small fries = $11.17. Mind you, I ain't been to a JitB in six years (the one I went to this evening) but FUCK shit's expensive now...

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

um, did I miss something or did the cost of your subscription go up @defector.com

I'm in this tweet and I don't like it (alluding more to the point I made last week with respect to falling through the cracks of undiagnosed autism) Mine began to fall apart in a hotel room, naked and crying, in Birmingham AL five years ago. That's when I figured it out.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's perfectly fine to say that a guy cries every once in a while. Please reframe the language y'all use. Stop diminishing the raw emotions. PLEASE!

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Guy had all his windows down on I-40 west of Oklahoma City. If he's got a kid, they know how to operate a firearm and are one step closer to shooting up a school. Definitely someone who's overcompensating for something. Bless his heart. White people, who hurt you?

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I don't know you, Internet person, but I have the receipts. Yes, we DO get great fuel economy AND my truck can do 75 mph. What's your point?

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

You have a very pretty downtown @schambergerart.com - drove through on I-35 to avoid any of the traffic from the east side of town by Arrowhead Stadium

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

also, TIL that Wabash (the folks that make trailers for Werner and Schneider, amongst many others - out in W Lafayette IN down the road from the Subaru plant) sponsors a NASCAR ride.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Friend of mine who probably was gifted like me, and is definitely on the spectrum (he's big into trains) posted this on FB. This is the clean copy.

Cropped and blurred license plate number of the person who I parked next to a few hours ago here in WDM. Does he yell out, "OORAH", when he reaches orgasm?

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I'll never get the idea of white people and Duke's mayo. It's just mayo.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Apple pie mule from Smash Park basically one block south of my apartment. Holy shit, it's SOUTH good. It's a shame I didn't see the mojito on the menu.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Spotted this truck at the Love's in New Baden IL on I-64 east of St. Louis. Tagging the @sickoscommittee.org and @channel6.bsky.social folks on this one. (It's an owner operator with JB Hunt, which is headquartered in Lowell, AR not all that far from Fayetteville.) Lotta WOO PIG under that hood.

Jerry @jerrycakes.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

People throw out a lot of good stuff here in my apartment complex in West Des Moines. Like this Dell monitor that surprisingly works very well. Hi there @notthattomgreen.bsky.social

Wrapped up S4 of Reacher. The closing song ("Sweet Forever" by Mondo Cozmo - a Philadelphia native) of the season finale episode "Cut" actually made me cry.

Addendum: If you are someone who discovered you were on the spectrum later in life, what have you learned about yourself? And if you're willing to share any tips that have made things slightly easier, I'd LOVE to hear them. Slide into my DMs.
