  • Hating is Natural

    I occasionally encounter the saying that “We are taught to hate.” I disagree with both the sentiment and the logic. Human beings are hardwired to be tribal creatures. We have to work and be taught to accept others that are not like us. Love is a learned behavior not hate. Hate is an aspect of…

  • Magic Pancakes

    What food would you say is your specialty? When the children were all young, they and my wife were eligible (all at once) for WIC. That is the Women, Infant, and Children food program. We got, among other things, 18 eggs every week. That was way more than we could eat fried or scrambled. Since…

  • Spiders

    When I was seven or eight I went to Thursday Evening Liturgies with the adults at my father’s Episcopal Church. I always felt very grown up but they incorporated a gong into the service which I got to play at the correct moments. There was an offering plate that got passed around and I always…

  • Hostages

    What major historical events do you remember? The first major event in the world that I remember was the crisis where US citizens were held hostage in Iran. I like Jimmy Carter. He’s a good man. But I don’t think he was a good president. Those hostages sat for over a year and he didn’t…

  • Rent Dream

    Sometimes my dreams make sense. I just woke up from a dream where I was living with a rental contract in a hotel. I was either the only one with that kind of contract or the first one because my paper lease had a “#1” on it. The lease was for one person and had…

  • Mr. Miggle

    This is Mr. Miggle. I drew him in the 2D animation section of Blender and recorded the animation with OBS. Then I uploaded the video to Facebook, took a screenshot with my phone, cropped it, and uploaded that modified image here. This is what I do for fun and at least one of the reasons…

  • Wealth and Children

    What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? I’ve talked a little about having more wives and children. That is probably a risk I will never take though, so I will focus on one that wouldn’t likely get me put in jail: Real Estate. I don’t own any land…

  • Relaxing after Pharmacy

    Tonight wasn’t too bad. I had issues with insurance as I usually do. I spent an hour on drive thru. And then I counted pills for the end of my shift. I still don’t think I’m very good at the front register, and I know I need a lot more practice filling prescriptions, but as…

  • Pipes, Valves, And Other Things I Should Leave Alone

    We have a water softener machine in our basement. A friend from church disconnected it and shut it off. But the damn thing seems to have been on a very long timer and started again recently. I tried to mess with the timer and that seemed to make things worse. The valves were open and…
