Windshields, Pig Men, and Random Clams – Thoughts from July 16 and 17, 2024
July 16, 2024 I would like to talk about an issue that is of great importance to me. You may already know what I’m going to talk about. Yes, the thing that disturbs me most when I’m driving is having a dirty windshield. We’ve all been there. Bugs die, birds poop, and dirt gathers on…

Traveling the World, Autobiographies, and Revisionist History – Thoughts from June 26 and 30, 2024
June 26, 2024 Do I regret not living in a dorm, traveling the world, or living more adventurously when I was young? The rest of this Thoughts paper will explain my answer. Why am I asking this philosophical question about my possible regrets? It began when I was listening to Rebel Wilson’s autobiography. She talked…

Anger at Idiots and Fix-it Jobs – Thoughts from February 27, 2024
I need cheering up. The past few days have been a series of events that have pushed me into angry guy territory. I have either yelled at people directly or secretly to myself. The world is pissing me off more than it has in years. It’s nothing new that’s getting me angry. The things that…

I’m a Cat Trapped in a Dog’s Body – Thoughts from September 24 and October 8, 2023
September 24, 2023 Flourishing in my own filth is the first thing I typed for this Thoughts paper. Where do I go from there? There’s only one place to go. I’m going where I always go. Here we are in my usual talk of wondering when the world is going to stop being so predictable.…

Water Damage, Tree Removal, and Video Issues – Thoughts from July 8, 2023
The other day, Patti and I noticed wet spots on our carpet in the den. We had problems with water leaking before, so we knew something was leaking. It’s the only time in my life when I wished it was a cat urinating. I checked the water heater and, sure enough, it was leaking and…

Blanket Rules are Illogical Rules – Thoughts from May 28 and 29, 2023
May 28, 2023 Following rules you hear is not the same thing as following rules that are written and documented. Enough said. May 29, 2023 It was fun to end my Thoughts paper yesterday with “enough said” after one sentence, but I wasn’t actually done. Today, I will finish what I only introduced yesterday. The…

Ignoring Other People and My Moth Friend – Thoughts from May 20 and 21, 2023
May 20, 2023 I’m on day six of eight days of working the same earlier shift. It’s only two hours off the shift I enjoy better, but it’s an annoying two hours. The most annoying part about it is feeling tired every day. If I told you when I was coming to work, you would…

Laughing at Conservatives – Thoughts from February 26, 2023
This happened at the beginning of February, but I thought I’d talk about it before February runs out. Patti and I were grocery shopping and an older gentleman was walking around with a blazer on making him look like a professor at a college. For all I know, he was. As he walked by us,…

Women and Men Walking – Thoughts from October 16, 2022
I was driving into work on the freeway and I saw a large white truck with a flag sticking up in the back of it. From a history of seeing flags sticking up in the back of trucks, I know they write nothing pleasant or encouraging on the flags. Sure enough, they inscribed the words…

X Chromosome – Thoughts from July 30 and August 1, 2022
July 30, 2022 The past few days have been weird, but not in a good way. I had to sit still on a freeway for hours and eventually get off the freeway by driving the wrong way. I gained 3.7 pounds in one day (not my personal record, but close). The day before, I got…
