Free Markets and Losers
Stephanie and I are arguing about capitalism again. We are both bad at making and saving money. She doesn’t see that as a problem while I do. And she keeps saying I argue that “Capitalism is true.” I think it’s a strawman. My argument is that capitalism is effective in producing things that I desire,…

Pressurized Olive Oil
Stephanie has a spray bottle of olive oil. The label says that olive oil is the only thing in the bottle. The warning says not to spray near heat or open flames, but I mean isn’t that the whole point. It also warns not to spray pressurized olive oil into your eyes. I worry that…

of Mice and Toilets
We occasionally get a mouse in the house. Usually the cats kill them. We bought some traps for extra protection. They are catch and release traps. I didn’t want anything poisonous or bone breaking in the house. Stephanie believed I was going to release the mouse outside. But it would have just squeezed back into…

Fancy Almond Cake
It’s midnight and I’m eating a layered cake made with almond flour. It’s really good and Stephanie can even share it with me because almond flour is gluten free. When you take the gluten out of wheat it tastes unnatural and wrong. But if you start with something like almonds that didn’t have any gluten…

Four in the Morning

Non Player Characters
Stephanie has left us to go on an adventure. I am home with our two sons. I can’t help feeling like a non player character when I am left to guard the children and the house. I won’t be as productive with other stuff today because the kids come first. But things are good so…

PRager U
I made the mistake of convincing Stephanie to watch a PRager U video on human trafficking by the Mexican Drug Cartels. She wrote it off as propaganda before she even watched it. I felt the intelligence agent being interviewed made a solid case that we need to control the border better. Watching it did not…

Cats and Mice
This morning Stephanie went to let one of our cats out and stepped on something by the front door. She let out a tiny panic noise because it was a dead mouse. Well technically it was half of a dead mouse because the cat who had killed it ate the head. Much to her chagrin…

Go For A Walk?
I used to like long walks. So much so that I would occasionally take them in the night in the rain. Part of that was out of necessity. I have never had a driver’s license. I know I’d get someone killed. The sidewalks are safer when I’m on them without a car. But over the…
