Bert and Ernie?

Oscar and Gil?

I wanted to be an astronaut as a kid. Seeing the '17 eclipse was a dream come true. Thankfully, I live in Wyoming, right along the path of totality.

I won’t be traveling for this one, unfortunately. Adulting sucks.

I gave up alcohol (again) in August.

I’ve got a bottle of Cherry Coke in the fridge. That might be nice at 2310 at night.

With someone else?

Completely missed it. My mistake.

Biblical or modern?

Of course. It lacks Joe Pesci “dressed like a chicken.”

The difficulty is that tipped employees, in some parts of the United States, can (and do) make as little as $2.13/hr. Laws ostensibly exist to ensure that tipped employees make minimum wage (federally mandated at $7.25/hr), but, due to a variety of factors, this isn’t always the case (to say nothing of the fact that $7.25/hr is hardly a living wage).

I spent 25+ years in food service. It was a lot of fun and seemingly good money when I was younger. Now that I’m 40, things like dependable pay and benefits trump the fun I had waiting tables and bartending all those years.

And not some sort of man-bat?

I thought it was Keke Rosberg. The mustache checks.
