I have two cupholders on the center console of my car. In the front cupholder I keep the pennies, nickels, and dimes. In the back cupholder I keep the quarters. As I drive I keep my left hand at the 8 position, the wheel between my thumb and forefinger. My right hand is tending to the quarters.

At this point I can tell which side of the quarter is The George and which is The Eagle just by touch, which is harder than you’d think. Go ahead and try it. About 50% of the time I can tell which side is The George without even touching it. I must have some kind of sense or ability.

The intrusive thought pops back in my head. I wonder what it would feel like to throw the quarters at the windshield of a passing car. Would they chip the windshield? Would they bounce off like hail?

I would have to throw them with my left arm as I drive, with some kind of side-throw maneuver. It wouldn’t be nearly enough force to do any damage but it would definitely scare somebody.

I stop by McDonald’s on the way home. I order a large diet Dr. Pepper with no ice. The price is $1.78. I decide not to use my credit card, because I don’t like when it texts me my reward credits.

“Sorry, I’m gonna pay with quarters this time.” He counts the quarters, “This is $1.75, I need three pennies.” I find him three pennies. The entire ride home I keep counting the quarters again and again. They feel so light in my hands.

After a few uncharacteristically warm January days, much of the snow has melted, leaving patches of now-revealed brown grass between the dirt-covered snow piles. The next two days are supposed to be cold again, below zero. The roads will be icy.

I scoop them up into my palm and I rattle them around. I balance three of them on my index, middle, and ring fingers. I stack them up in my hand and let them drop back into the cupholder, one by one.

When I was young I used to believe a “storm watch” on my phone meant I was assigned to keep an eye on the weather and report in. I also believed a “storm warning” meant I had to start warning my neighbors A bit foolish but I likely saved hundreds of lives

Figured out that if you fill your mouth with water or liquid, and then apply force/pressure, you can spray the water directly out of your mouth like a hose. Just be careful where you spray if indoors or near machines or such 😂

Humans love “going on adventures” until you abduct them and bring them to a nearby nebula. Now all of a sudden they’re “scared” and “don’t want to be fed to a Gnink”
