Commencement Speech by David Foster Wallace: 30 minutes, but well worth it.
Wife: Did you take out the trash?
Me: Yes.
Wife: Did you take out the trash TODAY?
Damn. She knows about that loophole.

It's interesting how music can take you to another place. For example, rap music is playing in my bar so now I'm going to a different bar.
BIG THINGS IN A SMALL TOWN
Casey, Illinois might be among the smaller towns of the United States, but it's home to some of the biggest things in the world.
Behind all these big attractions is a single man —local businessman Jim Bolin.

Syria...
Speaking of war...
I've heard it called: "Ukrainian Civil War." Really? I thought a civil war was when the citizens squared off against one another. I'm pretty sure that when the neighboring country sends heavy armored it's called an invasion by occupying troops.

Look guys, just because a girl is nice to you DOES NOT mean she wants to see a picture of your wiener.
PLAYING WITH FIRE
I've been cooking ribs wrong my whole life.
My bartender told me a better way to cook short ribs inside.
Apply dry pork rub, then wrap in foil. Right before you want to eat open it up and apply sauce.
The bones fell out while I was trying to get them on my plate. Most delicious.

But most people don't want to study an issue endlessly, they want to take someone's word for it.
That is a huge problem with the two political spheres in America. Both Democrats and Republicans think their party can do no wrong and the opponent's can do no good.
I think that the major divide concerns the roll of government. One side thinks that government can solve all the problems and the other thinks government is the problem.
I have stated that the federal government is the most inefficient solver of problems every devised.
I've said that the only two things they have really succeeded at was winning WWII and landing on the moon. I am no fan of big government.
But unlike the Hillary supporter below, I know Trump will not have enough authority to ruin very much.
That's a Clinton supporter reacting to Trump winning the U.S. election.
