— Roy Berendsohn, Popular Mechanics, "Why Do My Old Plastic Screwdriver Handles Stink?," 8 Oct. 2017But then you would realize that lately it has had a great rise in reputation and helps maintain your biodome and aids in the production of key neurotransmitters that help both our gut and our brains to work. Apparently we make it when bacteria in our bellies ferment high fibre carbohydrates, but it is also, and here is the punchline, found in butter! The highest food source for it.

Well, the Tea Party is out there arguing for “pure capitalism” again. That’s another way of saying “My unicorn can fart fairy dust out of it’s ass better than your unicorn!”

So horrid. So arrogant. Everything I despise. And so I saw the news this morning that they’ve only sold 390 of those cars this year. 390! Epic Fail. Cadillac is the ONLY luxury brand of car that has negative year over year sales! Most others are doing double digit business.

I met a person simply by wearing a t-shirt that I got at Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. It precipitated a conversation which led to more things in common and a friendship. Then I happened to wear a t-shirt from a Canada fishing expo and she asked me if I had been to Canada, too. No, I said, it’s just a shirt. Have you been to Canada? Yes, she said, she’d been to Ottawa. Ottawa? I told her- hey, I have a friend there I’ve never met. Never met?
