Bath Reboot

My wife writes and posts plenty of pictures of our recent reboot of one of the bathrooms at our Summit Ave house.

She also provides an episode link to the DIY reality show we were on several years back.

To everyone floating these “The voting machines were rigged!/Harris won!” conspiracy theories…

I just want to point a few things out…

  • The irony should not be lost on the fact that it sounds exactly like the other side did with very similar theories exactly four years ago. All you are doing is proving such ideas and tactics acceptable and furthering the distrust that leads societies to crumble.
  • Kamala Harris conceded. Period. The moment this happened it does not matter how or why. Donny, even in that face of indisputable loss, never did.
  • Let’s just game this out… Let’s say you’re right and evidence is found that without any shadow of a doubt the machines were rigged and the election was stolen and Harris won and every court in the land rules that’s the case… Then what? Do you honestly think the current president will just give up and walk away? How did that work last time? Do you think his supporters will be there at the capitol steps again? Like, seriously. What is the purpose and the point? How will this play out? Think this through.
  • There is overwhelming evidence that not only will nothing come of it but that he will do anything including using the military to ensure it. Game out all plausible scenarios and you’ll find yourself trapped with nothing more than your righteousness to cling to.

Note: That’s it for now. I may have some other points to make later so consider this an ongoing list.

Better Than You Found It

My shirt today (courtesy of my wife) while they were cleaning up the mess on my truck.

What we believe in.

Most see this phrase and think of campsites. They think of nature. It’s a good rule to follow there for sure.

I choose to think that it can apply to more.

Did I leave my house better than when I found it this morning?

Did I leave my kids more loved, more cared for, more seen? What about my wife? My friends?

Did I leave my work in a better position or my task list a bit more manageable?

There is nothing in our lives that could not benefit from the spirit of this motto.

What I woke up to this morning…





The city forestry guys were out shortly after we called them, took good care of removing the limb, moving the truck, and then cut and cleaned everything up.

Just very minor scuffs and scratches.
