Contributing to global climate change since 1965, Allen believes that you have a Constitutional right to his opinion. It is at times such as these — when we’re moving — that I remember why I don’t much like moving. It’s not that I don’t enjoy change or experiencing new things, it’s that I don’t enjoy the packing up and “camping” aspects. I like having my “stuff” with me.

You just cannot be too careful whether you’re working with a lathe in the shop, a sander in the back yard, 20 gallon garbage bags full of lighter fluid at a sparkler festival, or when shaving the [...]
I’m on the road doing advance work for our household. We’re moving to an undisclosed location in the north of Idaho. Our compound will be shielded against detection from orbit so don’t go looking for us with your fancy-pants reconnaissance satellites. The moat will be filled with natural gas and set ablaze.

I’m kinda bummed. Last night one of my friends posted a 27 part “answer the questions and pass it on” bulletin — sometimes known as a “meme.” Generally I like to read these things because they tell me interesting facts about my friends I might not otherwise know. (i.e.: “What book are you [...]
