Flying fast may be contrary to one’s wealth accumulation plan... especially if paid by the minute.

Please FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, unless I ask to see it (which I won’t), NEVER try to hand me your phone and show me a picture or video of anything! (boat, kitchen/bathroom refurb, kids hockey game, etc.) There aren’t words enough to express how much I really, really, really don’t care.

My new rule is you get to show me me one video and maybe 4 photos per 4 day trip.
