BMW says it may be available by the end of the decade, without the nanotech, of course. (But with everything else, color changing paint, heads up virtual displays.) And remember: If you have to ask for the price, you can't afford it!

Maybe we could test drive on their little obstacle course?

I am looking forward to the answers. My sympathies for the recent tragedies in Minnesota.

As a wannabe writer, I’ve been churning out weekly stories. Some short, some longer. Used to be called pulp fiction or dime-store fiction. The kind you’d find folded between your Sunday paper and a black-and-white crime. Nobody reads newspapers anymore, so here I am on Substack, making so much money. My millionaire brothers laugh at me.

But I don’t do it for fame or fortune. I do it because it’s a blast. Because I’m dying to find out what my characters will do next. The author’s notes? They’re real. Only Matt would leave a pregnant queen with a belly the size of a pumpkin waiting. Figures.

Or maybe I'm tired of streaming giants, tossing out eight episodes of superb storytelling, then canceling it on a whim, characters I had invested my time with, gone forever with no payoff. That’s not the fate of my characters. They stick around. They wake me up at 2 a.m., demanding their stories be told.

...Anyway, this got too long. Time to take my meds.

Matt here: Stupid author thinks he’s in control.

The bourbon burned going down.

So will every name on that list.

I would do that car!

Your writer muscles are getting ripped with this story. Do not abandon it.

You are getting better every day. I am so glad you are my friend.
