Today started with a solid sleep and a quiet Tuesday afternoon. After some quick errands and a car wash, I activated both Uber and Lyft, hoping for a productive day. Unfortunately, the rides were slow to come, but it gave me a chance to reflect on my weekend earnings and my plans for the week. I shared some insights about the unpredictability of ride-share driving and the odd satisfaction of a freshly cleaned car.

As the day progressed, I found myself caught in Miami's notorious traffic, navigating between errands and waiting for ride requests. Although I anticipated rain, it ended up being a clear day, which added a touch of drama to the otherwise mundane day. I took the opportunity to share some thoughts on family dynamics during rides, the absurdities of viral fame, and my take on recent podcasts I've enjoyed.

Evening fell, and I transitioned to the airport runs. The frustrating reality of navigating Uber and Lyft's systems at the airport became clear as I dealt with lot closures, police presence, and the occasional scammy taxi driver. Despite the challenges, there were some bright moments with pleasant passengers and glimpses of Miami's vibrant neighborhoods.

I wrapped up the night with some movie recommendations from Gaston and reflections on JFK assassination theories, which have been a recent obsession. The day ended on a slightly frustrating note with a miscalculated ride, but as always, it's all part of the ride-share hustle.
