Only 49 miles on it. Very low mileage for a nearly ten year old car.

Is Anyone else into the various Falling into Planets videos on YouTube? I discovered them while I was editing Death of the Author and got quickly obsessed. This is one of my favorites:

About 30 years ago, I saw Cow Tools for the first time and didn’t think much of it, mostly because I assumed it referenced something I didn’t know. Not uncommon for a young kid reading the comics. Older me is so pleased that I understood it just fine the first time, after all. Pure silliness.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

Today we stumbled on an a beautiful old cemetery in the woods. Gravestones from the 1700s and early 1800s. This is in North Stonington Connecticut.

Cassiopeia is directly overhead. It’s my favourite constellation. I would give it five stars.

One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up instead of what they have to gain.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Thank you to every single person who showed up, stood tall, and made history with us.

The arrogance of people who have never done any more archaeology than be a tourist to think they know more than people with hands-on experience digging and studying artifacts

The sheeple are being led by grifters and liars who will say anything provocative for money
