Apologies for this flippant, whimsical post about installing a new water heater. Gotta celebrate the big and small things. A low-key reminder to myself to be grateful & appreciative of modern amenities and creature comforts, that we oh, so often, take for granted in this life. 🙏🏼🌞🕊️

I’d like to ceremoniously welcome the esteemed “Ariston Quadris” to the Kalman household. May you serve humbly, steadfastly, and silently, providing consistent warm/hot water to our family and guests, and do so in an energy-saving fashion. Welcome, make yourself at home.

For fans of illiberal democracy.

"Since 2019, food prices rose more than the inflation rate in most countries. Hungary ranked among the top countries in the world in both indicators, cumulative inflation at 49.9%, while food prices rose by 81.6% in the past six years."

What’s the hurry, where’s the fire? In my estimation, laundry is meant to sit - and rest - for days & weeks at a time. ⏳🤔🥸

Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States was a profound read, many moons ago. Really opened my eyes. It really ought to be part of the regular curriculum, alongside traditional history books, for insight, introspection, and a broader view. 🕊️
