This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

as a mediocre middle aged white guy, I can say with authority that we need less takes from mediocre middle aged white guys.

I love my @AltraRunning shoes & my @Garmin watches but I don't relish the idea of being an influencer.

The nail is hit on the head here. If you want to be a member of a party, be a member of the party. It goes without saying, I don't care what the Greens have to say.

Any piece, opinion or otherwise, that references Wendell Berry is worth reading. As someone who lives in a small town, with an old guard, and a distinct urban/rural problem, I appreciate this. Thank you, @micheleeamn.

I was going to tweet about paying for the journalism that you love and realized that I had been sharing a lot from @outsidemagazine without being a subscriber.

Took care of that.

Predictable scheduling would be a goodness for employees but more importantly, while limiting options earlier, it could be a money saving decision as it relates to staffing and not considering that is short sighted. https://t.co/kBYTzWmJyl
