The Uncommon Cresting

Which is otherwise known as collective thought.  I love it when small groups of people unknowingly happen upon the same great idea at the same time.  I’d offer up some examples, but I can’t remember any specifically.  Something about the telephone seems to ring a bell, groan.
Took some time to catch up on reading the dear [...]

And Here Lies a Product of Minimum Wage

I’ve never been in a war.  Not personally.  I suppose if you count my involvement in changing the channel during Desert Storm and again for this battle for Iran’s ‘democracy’, I suppose I’ve been involved.  I’ve waded through the many parasite infested mud puddles that bosses like to call ‘safe work practices’ and I’ve made [...]

Generally speaking, birthdays are 364 days of anticipation and 1 day of disappointment.
