I love your advice from old folks pieces. Too damn funny! I agree with one of the above comments: read Mark’s newsletter to enhance your quality of life. So true. You leave me smiling every time. Thank you!
As with anything in life, you must play the odds. Getting onto a subway these days, you're already squeezing your margins. In the scenario Conner describes, I'd go with his sage wisdom. Never heard it before, but it make sense on the face of it.
As for Billy, were I in Tucson, I'd buy a car from him in a New York minute.
"I may have to turn to self-publishing to get my book published. And then, when it sells a couple hundred thousand copies and......" Wait, what? Whoa whoa whoa there dream boy, back up a little...
Also, I am sticking with Connor's advice! I am glad for the warning. Although I have already lived well past my shelf-life date , no sense in asking for trouble.
Obviously, it is a publishing fantasy story. My first novel sold 50 copies. My second sold five. I expect my third to sell two. 🤣 I have no illusions of self-publishing success. I put them out for those who want one, mainly me.

Old folks are smart!
Gracias, mi amigo.
...AND if he speaks English with an Austrian accent...
Dead giveaway, for sure.

The Subway is always a gamble. But Terminators are just over the top.
Billy did pretty well. I think he is retired now.

Connor knows what he is talking about. 🤓
Mark, one way to enjoy our human lifespan more is to read your eclectic and interesting newsletter.
Thank you. Michele. That makes my heart happy. I am the anti-niche. My writing is very eclectic. 🤓
I think you spelled public wrong. You have pubic domain.😊🤦🥺😣😳
Oh... wait.... that changes everything...
😬😬🤣
Oops! We don't want that. Thanks, AnnGee. Fixed. 🤓
Lol. You are funny! Nope 😂 we don't want that. Damn spell check.
Sometimes, spell-check does more harm than good. But I do excel at typos.
Right. I'm with you.
I have taken that subway advice to heart since 1984. I still have nightmares. Thanks for bringing that up again. Now I won't sleep tonight.
Well, Skynet is getting closer to reality. 😉
Then I will say, “Alright, if it will get you to leave me alone.” 😂
Let us know when that happens?!
I am not holding my breath. 🤣
