The story is told about a young woman who impatiently honked her horn at an old man who was taking long in making his order at the first window of a fast food drive-thru. At the second window, the old man paid for his order, and for the order of the agitated young woman as well. At the third window, the old man picked up his order and that of the young woman too, who had to go back to the start of the line again. —————- In today's Gospel (Matthew 16:21-27), Jesus tells us: 'For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay all according to his conduct.

Dear Luv Doc, I have come to accept the fact that somehow every other car on the road in Austin seems to be a Tesla, but I still can't figure out why with all that fancy new technology their turn signals don't seem to work any better than anyone else's. You would think Elon Musk could design a turn signal that kicks in at least halfway through a last-minute multiple-lane change but I guess he's too busy ruining Twitter. That exact scenario happened twice to me yesterday on my commute – once by a Tesla and once by a Lexus SUV with Florida plates.
