    Same page, hand…same page.

    Here’s the problem: He’s not average.

    The average driver his age pulls what kind of wagon? The average driver is a company schmuck or fails at a lease purchase. He succeeded at lease purchase and even became a full blown owner op. His intentions were not to draw attention, BUT…he’s not average. That’s why I suggested that he hide his cards.

    If you are traveling, you do not want to draw attention to yourself. Blend in, learn the customs, be able to communicate. Shows planning and preparation. This will make you stand out even though this wasn’t your intention. Most will appreciate the effort, but some will want to push buttons. When someone says something about millennials, or fat stupid Americans, they’re referring to average. They’re wanting you to lose your cool and show your cards. Hide your cards until it’s time to play them. Do not tell people anything about you. Do not defend average. In fact, never become defensive. No buttons to be pushed. No cards shown.

    ahhhhhh, that must be why I’m the only one in our Decatur yard. “Monster trucks” make anybody excited — reckon our Morton yard has a few trucks in it.

    Umm...having been both of those prior, you are definitely NOT invisible. Everyone checks out what your're doing to see how you're wasting their tax dollars. Trust me. :)
