- Birthday weekend date night number two: an unexpectedly underwhelming dinner, on which we bailed before dessert came in favor of our traditional pre-theater frozen yogurt, to be followed by seeing CWU’s production of the Mary Poppins stage musical. Mmmm, yogurt! (128/366) ➡

- Behold! I have infinite (ever smaller) watches! Just Apple Watches all the way down. ➡

- Darwin Has Left the Building At this point, I amend, but stand by, my original premise that through medical science and societal standards, we as a race have removed ourselves from the premise of Natural Selection. It is no longer the most fit — those with the best combination of all desirable traits, including, but not limited to, intelligence — who are more likely to propagate. Rather, it is those that either best fit a societal norm that is far below what it should be (in my not-so-humble opinion), or those that simply continue to have children, no matter how ill-advised it may be to do so. ➡
- Sumo wrestlers and rattlesnakes The sheer ponderousness of the panel's opinion — the mountain of verbiage it must deploy to explain away these fourteen short words of constitutional text — refutes its thesis far more convincingly than anything I might say. The panel's labored effort to smother the Second Amendment by sheer body weight has all the grace of a sumo wrestler trying to kill a rattlesnake by sitting on it — and is just as likely to succeed. ➡
