Ever had that moment where you're just waiting for them to flip a coin? I keep a separate envelope of cash just for border days, like a "mood tax" for the officer. One time I saw a guy get turned away for a stamp that another officer waved through an hour before. My rule now is to pack like I'm not coming back, even for a one day run. It's the only way to sleep the night before.

Wait, you booked out jobs for months for other people but your own porch was just waiting for spare minutes? How does that even happen?

Feels too pushy for my taste.

Wish more people understood that like @olivia_morgan8's dad did.

Is that gap under the door the only thing you noticed? In my experience, raccoons are smart and will work on a weak spot like that for a while before they finally get in. It might have been fine until it very suddenly wasn't. I check my coop edges every time I collect eggs, just a quick visual scan for any new digging or loose wire.
