One’s Self, Avoiding Pecans, and Painting Mishaps – Thoughts from March 27, 2025

March 27, 2025 Here we are again. I’m at the Honda dealer, waiting to get my car serviced. It sounds like I’m waiting for my car outside a brothel, but you need to get your mind out of the gutter. Why you, the future reader of these words, would plant that in my mind, I…
