 Life will find a way...

Nobody’s nobody’s bitch.

There’s a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it’s usually a prescription.

Another place I will never visit...

Concrete or stone?

Nick Hanauer, a hereditary millionaire who increased the family fortune with some shrewd early dotcom inventions has written an open letter to his fellow "zillionaires" warning that their corruption of the US political system has given rise to an unstable situation of wealth inequality that has turned their potential customers into impoverished pitchfork-wielding revolutionaries who are coming for their heads.
