“I told you so” is pretty well-established as a useless approach to any productive debate. And honestly, in most of those situations, the dreadfully predictable outcome is nothing to gloat about.

After awhile, we sort of develop built-in radar to automatically recognize and welcome a newcomer to our ranks…sometimes.

As anyone who has tried to rent a car lately knows, prices are astronomical, availability is rare, and even if you do find a reservation and book it in advance, it doesn’t mean there will be a car available when you arrive.
