Sometimes it feels like you are playing Trade Wars for real…and losing.

Sometimes the mind simply needs a rest.

WWI still going

And glacier melt has revealed 100 square meters of World War I munitions. The comments on that article are saddening.

Teach them automotive maintenance young

My 16 year old son is driving now. Some good friends cut him a deal. They gave him a 1991 Ford Tempo GL and, in exchange, he drives their son to school. The only problem is the Ford Tempo isn’t running right now. The radiator is too gunked up. When I was 16, you could have given me the biggest lemon in the world and I would have spent every waking moment cleaning it, tuning it, staring at it, and driving it to Timbuktu. My 16 year old son doesn’t seem interested in the car in the least. Before we knew this car was coming into the family, I offered to ~~let~~help him repair the Jeep but he wasn’t interested. This is not limited to my son. The 16 year old populace, at least those we know, seem genuinely disinterested in driving. I think we need to rename them Generation Xbox.

So, I set out to replace the radiator myself. And, surprisingly, ended up with a great helper. My seven year old stepped up, and single-handedly removed the air filter and all the connecting pieces.

And that lollipop is not cigarette inspired. Just a coincidence, but funny!

I’m sorry you don’t like my vocabulary choices

If my choice of adjectives cause you to end our conversation, then you are closed minded and fuck you.

From the mouths of babes

Wife: "May I buy kitten food?"
Me: "If I say no, will it go away faster?"

Apparently, that was not the correct answer.

How tired?

I woke up at 5am to discover I fell asleep last night sitting up.

I have the winning ticket for the $340 million Powerball jackpot!

So I bought a Powerball ticket last night since it was a rather large jackpot, $340 million to be exact. Driving down the interstate today, I noticed the lottery billboard shows the Powerball at $40 million which means someone won. Using quantum physics, I know that I am that winner because I have not yet observed the ticket (nor have I observed an announcement of the winner) therefore my ticket must simultaneously be every winning and every losing combination. Now I just have to figure out how to observe that winning number.
