Uber Tales, Why I Went Back to the Dark Side of a Gas Vehicle, Edition
Yesterday I swapped out my electric vehicle for a regular gas one. Now I didn’t do it solely because of the incident I last blogged about (link here if you want to read about that but I will give you a warning for very foul and nasty language). It was mainly because I was tired of getting up at 2 a.m. to charge it up for the day because that’s when it was the cheapest and because I don’t have a…

Yes, I Am A F*****g B***h
Pardon the blanked out bad words, but the language in this post is going to get one hell of a lot worse. So here goes a story that isn’t pretty and perfect, and for those of you clutching your pearls and wringing your hands, clutch your pearls to dust and wring your hands raw before you come at me. Oh, and don’t do any over-protective, I’m-only-worried-about-you-bullshit either because I’ve been…

Ukraine on My Mind: The Tide Has Turned
Four years ago, I wrote this piece followed by this one, then this one a year later. It’s been four years now and Russia still has failed to take Ukraine. In fact, the tide has really started to turn against them and all because of one thing: instead of running, Ukraine stood and fought back. I’ll never forget watching the video from that night four years ago when Russia launched its’ invasion…

I Miss The Men In Suits
Dan Rather – CBS News Tom Brokaw – NBC News Peter Jennings – ABC News Three men in suits, five nights a week, telling us what happened that day and why. They took their jobs very seriously and made the rest of us pay attention. Of the three, Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw are still with us, elder statesmen now from a bygone era. But damn, I miss the days when news was thirty-minute broadcast at…

Conversations From the Road – I Choose to Remember the Good
It was fourteen years ago today that my dad died. I remember that day like it was yesterday, watching him take his last breath, and then sitting alone with his body until the funeral director came and got him. But today, I remember something he said to me in a conversation we had sometime in the years after my mother died: “I choose to remember the good.” My dad and I were talking about grief,…

Welcome to My Brain: Anxiety In the Backseat, Edition
Narrator: Welcome back to Michele’s Brain. Today we’re going to talk about Anxiety. She’s not a monstrous bitch like RSD but she’s in the backseat along with RSD. Anxiety: Hi, it’s me, I’m the problem.ADHD Side: Hey, I thought that was my line. Anxiety: Sorry, I didn’t mean to use that if you didn’t want me to. ADHD: No, it’s okay. It’s not my line either because I got it from the Taylor Swift…

Welcome to My Brain
(taps mic, clears throat) “Is this thing on? Okay, welcome to My Brain. Today, I want to explain how my brain works and why it is so damn hard for me to get my shit together. My brain, like every human brain is basically divided into two sides. My two sides are Autistic and ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) and in between lives a very ugly bitch known as RSD (rejection sensitivity…

Conversations From the Road – Grief Into Purpose
This afternoon, the office of former President Joesph Biden announced he has prostate cancer and that it has metastasized and though prostate cancer is highly treatable, seeing the word ‘metastasized’ has broken my heart and made me pray hard for a full and speedy recovery. In the last few weeks, there have been news reports about President’s supposed mental decline while he was President. And…

Fifty-Two and Fabulous
Yesterday I began my fifty-second journey around the sun. I spent most of it on the road because I need money and that’s how I earn money right now. My riders were awesome as always and I dealt with the fact that Friday is ‘Drive Like a Real Idiot’ day on the road (because Friday afternoons are when I see the worst driving- it’s like people rip their brains out of their skulls and run over them…

Buy the Ticket, Take the Trip, or Just Hit the Road and Don’t Look Back
Today is Mother’s Day here in the United States and this isn’t just about my mother of course, but about women who put aside things they want to do simply because they don’t want to ‘disappoint’ someone. But women are now saying ‘fuck that shit’ and disappointing people left and right and doing what they want to do, and most of all, they’re walking away and staying away from bad shit, like bad…

Uber Tales, How Far I’ve Come From the Front Seat, Edition
First, if you read this and feel compelled to come at me in a hand-wringing, over-protective way, save it. I am a cranky middle-aged woman who can more than handle herself and any idiot who decides to be ignorant, stupid, or just an asshole. In nine years on the road, I have been asked if I’ve ever wanted to toss someone out of my car. Just one time which led to an informal ban on passengers in…

A Look Back As I Wind Down Another Trip Around the Sun
Yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve cranked out a blog entry though I’m grateful it hasn’t made traffic slack off to my website here (thanks to all my visitors and readers, and fuck you to any AI scrapping, too). Between my resurgent perimenopause, spring allergies, wonky weather and all the accompanying joint pain and fatigue, I’ve gone into overload, then shut down, and now I’m back yet…

Road Signs
This morning I asked myself, “Why do I have to feel like shit about myself?” Answer: I don’t. So why did that question come to my mind in the first place? Because yesterday I asked myself another question, and that response turned into the latest attempt at an introduction to my book ‘Uber Tales: Stories and Thoughts From the Road’. The question I asked was, “How do I put nine years on the…

I Don’t Need to Compete With AI (artificial intelligence)
AI is doing this AI is taking over that AI is going to wipe us all out It seems all you hear about AI is that AI is taking over, has taken over, and there is nothing us dumb-ass humans can do about it. Well, us dumb-ass humans invented this technology so it’s sloppy and imperfect and sooner or later, bound to fuck things up like it already has, and just like us real flesh-and-blood humans…

New Poem - Women Choose the Bear
I wrote this poem in response to the devastating report from CNN about a website that has been referred to as a ‘rape academy’. This is a very graphic and deeply disturbing report on a website where men shared videos of women being drugged and raped along with instructions on how to drug a woman and film them. In February of this year, in one month alone, the site had sixty-two million views.…
