But now I guess I’ll have to block that lane completely. Currently, I’m even considering what to tell line jumpers that don’t realize that the left lane will be blocked, and who end up stuck there with no place to go, who will have to maneuver uncomfortably to turn around, or simply wait until the end of the line. And me? I’ll be polite, but I’ll definitely be laughing on the inside and bragging about it to my friends.

frankly, it gives my yard a wild look that I personally like. In fact, I was chatting with my neighbor the other day and he offered to just come over and trim my damned lawn if I wanted him to. But I don’t.

if I can be honest with you, there was something very satisfying to watch that old analog plotter printer do its work. Sometimes I really miss analogue devices.
Apology 7/28/22
For what it’s worth, I do go over past events in my mind, usually at night. I often call these my “demons”, and I’ve lost significant amounts of sleep time wrestling with them.
Confused Patriots 7/27/22
Curiously, although I never really put it together until right now, my first brush with Un-American Patriotism came in my high school home room in a very strange event that showed that patriots often do not really think about what they are doing.
Ownership 7/26/22
My bosses, Jeff and Jen, built the drive-in. They run it, they are in charge, they profit from it, and it is theirs in every sense of the word. But I have taken ownership as well. I’m proud to be working there, I’m proud to keep it clean at the end of my shift, I’m proud to do what I can to help things move smoothly to the best of my ability.
Acetates 7/25/22
He told me that they were upset because it was so expensive to copy them all because there were so many due to the large writing and slides (that were actually few and far between) that were meant to be humorous. He asked me to do something about that. I explained that if they looked at the slides, they could skip the humorous ones, and I have to write large so everybody can see them from the back of the room. He retorted that he didn’t care, he just didn’t want to hear any more complaints
Blog AI 7/24/22
As AI’s can do more diverse tasks, we must avoid the trap of falling into the opinion that it means we need never teach that topic again. If students don’t learn creative writing, there will never again be an original book, and reading will become as redundant as modern movies out of Hollywood.
Bigotry 7/23/22
In Texas, bigots are so populous that there is really no danger to even Ten Cruz being kicked out of office. As long as he continues to pander to the base values of these frightened little idiots he’s got a job, so what is the impetus for him to suddenly change? And it’s not just Texas.

we would go over the block which was also an incline, up the parallel incline hill, and back over a third incline to get to the point that the steep hill would have taken us, but because those hills were less steep, the pathway was faster despite the fact that it was longer.
