Awesome post over on The Logic of Long Distance on stoic running. Finally, and this point is probably hardest to grasp, you are responsible for you. Not your shoes, not your watch, not anything else. Those are tools, to be used with the requisite understanding, but they do not take away your responsibility to yourself. I’d maybe even take this a step further. I think some of the best long Read More ...
I’m so excited about this upcoming royal wedding. Really…seriously. I am. It just got me thinking about the great weddings in history of American Royalty. Jesse Ventura’s commentary in the first video is classic: “Do the rings go on fingers or in noses?” “Looks like two carp in the Mississippi River going after the same piece of corn” Uncle Elmer’s Wedding by TSteck160 And of course, who could forget this Read More ...

Method 1 works best for single trees or small doubles/triples. Since the root ball on palms is relatively small and Read More ...
Wait…let me get this straight. Using this approach, if a person is facing extreme debt with collectors calling, cars and houses on the verge of being repo’d and foreclosed, and maxed out credit cards, these are the steps they should take to fix the problem: Ask for higher limits on their cards Demand a raise from their employer (at gunpoint if necessary) Create a plan to spend the extra money Read More ...
Here’s another mind dump of thoughts on a few of the link worthy things I’ve read lately…enjoy! Now you can buy a Kindle for $114! The gotcha here is that you have to be willing to look at ads and special offers. Still, I’m glad to see the price coming down one way or another. I still think the magic price for this device is $99. At least, that’s the Read More ...
