There is an old adage about
each individual person being the hero in his own life’s narrative.
I, of course, understand that and agree.
I have talked to many young
people who tell me that they would never have children.
Something about it either frightened them or bored them, and they were adamant. But once graced with a child they ALL tell me that they didn’t really understand what life was like until their child was born. I tend to agree.
In a related subject, here’s some facts that I can’t guarantee, but still find interesting.

In the 1940s and 50s, zoot suits were worn by Mexican-American hipsters who embraced the flamboyant oversized style of dress to express their desire for freedom from discrimination and racism as an underclass.
The zoot suit caused a series
of youth riots to break out in Los Angeles and was banned for the duration of
WWII.

Palette knives are usually used to mix pigments, but sometimes they are used to apply paint directly to the canvas.
These two close-ups were in an article about just such a technique.

To quote plumber Dean Materi:
“I seen a gold shimmery thing on the ground and I thought it was a copper light
fixture, but when I went to shovel it up, it seemed kind of heavy. I picked it
up and it was a gold brick.”
But I have questions. He was remodeling a bathroom at the time, so why does he think it belongs to him? It belongs to however owns the property.
Further, think of all the gold and other valuables buried on the site of every city that has ever been under siege. That occurred to me when I watched a documentary about Sherman's March through the south. People buried everything of any value to keep it out of the hands of the Union Army. It stands to reason that for one reason or another, they did not have a chance to retrieve their stash.
I think this happened in every war from the very beginning of civilization.

Vantablack is a material so black that it absorbs all but 0.035 percent of visible light. That’s a lot. Things basically disappear when coated with the Vantablack carbon nanotubes.
And yet, they’ve somehow made
the material even blacker.

I have no idea if that is
accurate, but it is something to think about.
But most Democrats live along the costs in cities and most Republicans live in the middle of the country.

A stone car with two axles
and 4 wheels dating from about 7500 years ago was found during excavations in
the Kiziltepe district of the southeastern province of Mardin, are now on
display at the Mardin Museum, Turkey.
That sounds so phony to me, but I did a little research and unless the scientists have been fooled, I think it's legit.
But I also think that they called it a car instead of a wagon just to get more bang for their public relations buck.

SOME THINGS I’VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT
I, of course, understand that and agree.
But one’s narrative is not
the end of the story.
Life is more than your story
and in my opinion, life is about life; and that means babies.
Something about it either frightened them or bored them, and they were adamant. But once graced with a child they ALL tell me that they didn’t really understand what life was like until their child was born. I tend to agree.
And if you are still toying
with the notion of remaining childless, I have a comparison. I have never
talked to a drug addict who had not said “I can handle it, I won’t get
addicted.” Likewise I have never talked to a young “anti-child” person who
afterwards could not then imagine a life without that child. That is 100% and
with those kinds of odds, some of you people might want to rethink your
position. Further, it is a species imperative, and that shit is very hard to overcome.
Now please don't tell me about being so poor your can't feed a child, etc. You know I'm not talking about that.

"I don't own the view
and I don't expect to own the view but I am being entombed," said Hellen
Barnaby, who used to enjoy a view of Perth, Australia from her apartment
balcony. Now she sees a wall from a new high-rise that is one inch from her
balcony.

Palette knives are usually used to mix pigments, but sometimes they are used to apply paint directly to the canvas.
But they do not match the painting accompanying it....
