May 06, 2026: unexpected pedestrians
I deployed yesterday's blog with a weird block of text in it that led to the chronicle not being recognized. I have no idea how it got there and my sincerest apologies to my #1 fan.
Might have been aliens. And not the illegal ones.
Zing!
I spent a good portion of my day today firefighting remotely. More remotely than normal. A fuck ton of quick decisions made. Many of which are only able to be made because of the trust we've built as a team.
Overall, great trip. I'll be happy to head home tomorrow though (right up until I have to get up at 4am).
Am I a quitter? Well, sometimes.
Am I a quitter when there are card shops to hunt? Well, sometimes.
What I'm trying to get at is there are a ton of card shops in El Paso and tonight I was on a mission to hit up a few shops that were closed Monday night. First up, Freddy's.
This oscar robertson was a fun find. Plus a few cheap bucks cards stacked.
The real fun though? Freddy himself. Great fella. Perhaps my favorite card shop owner yet. He had some crazy Pokemon stories too boot. Dude is making bank.
Fun.
Next up, GEM MINT.
Now, when I walked in - it legit smelled like someone just took a massive dump in the bathroom and they weren't expecting customers. Interesting start to the proceeds. lol
Hey, look at that! My first giannis scored from the 4th, and last, shop I visited. Rob was a friendly gentleman and he agrees, freak should stay with the bucks. Hard to argue with that one.
A successful final night on the town.
This photo looks like it was me who took the massive dump I had the pleasure to enjoy in the shop.
Today was the first time in my life I saw dozens of signs on a highway warning: Watch out for unexpected pedestrians. Well, at least they aren't super racist about it. lulz
This was the exact moment I realized just how close to the border I was. Shout out to the Mexicans. Honestly, you can have this shit hole of a country. You probably deserve it more than I do.
As Freddy and Rob can attest, I'll dap you up along the way.
