Inside the Pallet House The Pallet House

Father's Day is here, and the Father of all eating contests is in jeopardy.  The good news is that this is America so we will find a way to make money on this travesty.   Some of us will make more money than others, and it will be the end of the Summer before we find out who. 

This week Dave tells a pleasant story about a kid getting a new car, and how a seemingly good experience can turn into a nightmare for the salesman. We also learn about a new option for those of us who like to have a drink every so often.  

Life has a way of coming at us all fast, and even when we know it is coming we are still shocked.  Like taking a Zoom court appearance for a suspended license from your car, when you figure out what is happening it is often too late. 

Showing up to gun fight with a knife is known to be a bad idea. Showing up in the same Costco pants as everyone else can be just as awkward though.  I guess they are both better than showing up to a Porsche meet in a Miata. 

Art is subjective that is for sure, but some art is universally accepted as pretty cool.  It should also be known that human nature means we will always play to the lowest common denominator.  When the two meet we should not be surprised at the results.  As primal as a snake chasing a mouse, we will do something stupid if you keep giving us the chance. 

First world problems involve bad games of golf, and busted up cars.  We spend a lot of time focused on the small things.  We can also be reminded that there are much bigger issues for us to be concerned about.  This week that comes into focus.
