    Shopping Cart Theory

    What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

    I’m not a big fan of unsolicited advice. I only give advice if asked.

    So I’ll go generic and a little bit off script.

    I would like to emphasize that being normal, is a sad state of affairs. Don’t be afraid to be different a little weird have paint on your shirt, venture into the arts, speak, lots of languages, go to obscure places in the world, and by all means it doesn’t take much energy to be nice.

    So return those shopping carts, help, little old ladies across the street and by all means listen to Miles Davis as much as possible.

    What’s the longest trip you’ve ever taken?

    It seems like it has been forever, and I wish it was long strange trip.

    It Takes a Toll

    The psychological impact of political corruption and systemic ethical breakdown—often discussed by critics as a “reign of corruption” under Donald Trump—exerts a profound toll on the public psyche. Political scientists, psychologists, and sociologists categorize these widespread psychological effects into distinct collective behaviors and emotional responses

    It wears me out.

    What’s your best tip for budget travel?

    When you are in a bar in a foreign city, Walk up to a stranger who is having a beer.

    Hey Tony Roberts (use what ever name you please) how have you been?

    I am not Tony Robert’s you must be mistaken.

    Didn’t we meet on the airplane . (Make up a generic scenario of your pleasing. )

    “Sorry I am Todd Billinger you must be mistaken. I just arrived from St Louis.

    Now walk up to the bar and order yourself a nice cold refreshing drink. The bartender will ask you if you have a tab going.

    “Sure”

    “What is the name on the tab?

    Billinger.
