Dealing with idiots for dummies
It’s Christmas Eve and we’re at our favorite watering hole preparing for our last Christmas in Dallas and everything was going great. And then this dickhead engineer (we’ll get to that part) sits down next to us.

The biggest obstacle in preparing for our trip has been all of the stuff we’ve piled up over the years. What are we gonna do with all this stuff while we’re on our trip?! We didn’t want to pay for storage, so we did what any rational couple that is planning on quitting their jobs to travel around the world would do. We started selling it.
