“Make War Not Love”
I’m wearing a novelty tshirt today that I earned from a website called Learn Liberty by promoting the site. It reads “Make Wealth Not War.” It is in part an homage to the first novelty tshirt I ever got. When I was a teenager I was reading a Mad Magazine and in one of the…

Late Father’s Day
Today my son William took me out to lunch at a place called Whiskey Ranch. He doesn’t approve of alcohol so he was a little hesitant to try the restaurant. I assured him that he did not have to have any whiskey. Neither one of us drive, but the restaurant is in between my house…

No, All Men are not Created Equal
The Declaration of Independence is wrong. People don’t start out equal. Some have great advantages and some have great challenges. Some put great effort into enriching the world.

I have no idea what if anything will become of this attempt, but I am hoping to make it a rallying cry for the misunderstood and underserved. Weird is good and normal is boring.

More RxEnergy
Stephanie went to Walgreens for her prescription today because we don’t have health insurance right now and my old coworkers will go the extra mile to get her the best price on insulin. At my request she also picked up several bottles of RxEnergy (3 for $2). I love them but they are tremendously bad…

You Drive, I’ll Buy
I have a friend Tasha who I’ve known a long time and needed to go to the town south of us to pick up materials for her crafting. She invited me to keep her company on the journey. I asked Stephanie if it was okay for me to treat her to lunch and she pointed…
