First off, I don’t necessarily agree with everything the dad in this cartoon says–at least not to the extreme–because I still own a gas-powered vehicle, but I don’t use it that often. Tonight was the first time I used my truck in more than two weeks (emergency school supply run for my teenage son). IContinue reading “The Tao of Calvin”

The Worlds Strongest Bike Lock
Image found here. Photo credit: Ethan Welty. I’ve come across images of this bike-in-a-tree (or variations of it) at various locations on the internet and have always found it interesting. Apparently a kid–some years ago–either leaned or locked his bike to this tree and over the years the tree grew around it. Sort of eerie,Continue reading “The Worlds Strongest Bike Lock”

But if you’ve been a regular reader of this blog you already know this. I have a job, and I canContinue reading “Sometimes I love Trash…”
