Started off the day deep in my baseball card collection, sorting and reminiscing — but eventually dragged myself out for an afternoon Uber shift. Miami was sunny, the frat kids were out, prom season was popping off, and the surges? Meh... hit or miss.

I talk about why Parkland rides suck, why self-driving Ubers are gonna create chaos at airports, and why setting my rider filter to 4.9 is my personal insurance policy against drunk party passengers.

Had a few funny encounters with cleaning ladies, frat houses, banana costumes (don't ask), and finally scored a $19 surge late night at Key Biscayne. Even though I was exhausted, we managed to salvage the day — barely.

Plus, some quick updates on my baseball card collecting, Marlins games, and the random chaos that is Uber driving in Miami on a Saturday night.
