I realize the space station passes overhead a few times a week, but each time I see that tiny bright dot race across the sky, it amazes me that people are living up there. #lookup #space #spacestation #iss

one way to manifest work on your home project is to be indisposed... first meeting all day, when I'm attempting to speak about a complex topic "hey, we're here can you come outside"

Can we not stop these text robots? It's just constant spam like this. Is this a partisan thing? I don't get why there is no law against it... #spam #sms

	Hi Nathan, took a drive down [Redacted] with my builder and your place caught our eye. Worth chatting? 

Nathan Hubbard:
	What part caught your eye

	Nothing specific about the house itself. We like the neighborhood and have been looking at opportunities in the area, so I reached out to see if selling is something you'd ever consider.

Damnation! That was the closest I’ve ever experienced a #lightning strike. Less than 100 ft. I jumped and yelled and the whole bit. I’ll have to get out in the light tomorrow and see which tree it hit. f**k, I think my hair is still standing on end.
