Pre-day is the early morning before the rest of the world wakes up. It’s one of the quietest times of day, allowing your mind to breathe, think, process emotion, and prime your mental state to thrive in the coming hours. 

Man Pops Car Hood, Thus Exhausting His Knowledge Of How Cars Work - Babylon Bee

A neighbor stopped by after seeing the open car hood and offered assistance by standing next to Snodgram and staring at the clicking engine. He then went the extra mile by suggesting they close the hood and lift it again to see if that would help. It did not.

Yum.

Just opened my son’s first checking account and Roth IRA.

He’s pretty excited!

I quit Twitter five years ago because it was a joyless place.

Not sure why it’s taken everyone else this long to figure that out.
