If you love hoppy beer, this is the one for you. The name tells you what you need to know. It’s bitter, complex and strong. Exactly what I love in a beer. If you love the same things too, it will blow your mind. On the other hand, if Bud Light is too much of a beer for you, you’ll hate this and think it’s medicinal.
To each their own. For beer lovers, try this. Of course one won’t be enough, but you won’t be able to drink the second.
I was thinking about the nature of government while I was shoveling off the end of the drive on the day after the most recent snowfall. How did this come about? The city, as always, plowed about six inches of wet snow onto the driveway’s apron. Not fun. Ever. But it did get me to thinking.
Why does the city get away with doing such a thing? Why can they zip down the street in their plows and bury the last few feet of my driveway with snow? Why can they do the same to the sidewalk? Believe me, every winter the city tells residents not to put any snow back into the street. Ok for them to put snow on my drive. Not ok for me to put snow in the street.
Not being an idiot, I can see why they don’t want snow in the street. All in all, a reasonable request, but I can’t turn around and ask the same of them. (Of course, this does get to a technical problem: would a private street owner be able to prevent this problem? But I digress, this is a philosophical rant.) In short, it is a situation of “do as I say, not as I do.”
Is this the nature of government? Does it prohibit us—the governed— from doing what it does?
If you answered no, please ponder this question: What would happen if you told your neighbor he owed you 5% of his earnings, payable before he ever saw his paycheck? What would happen if you then managed to do that?
Oh the things I think about when shoveling.
The key with the second diaper would seem to be making sure that your hand is on it all the time lest the removal of pressure allow the diaper to slide off of a wiggling baby. Or even just a lessening of pressure allowing for a corner to slip in the seconds before disaster strikes.
Yes, experience here is hard earned.
V is introducing anarchy to the masses in a consumer-friendly package. I’ll probably get around to re-watching this some time.
But until then, I’ll wish his anarchy had been non-violent.
V definitely needs to know about the non-initiation of force. (Shhhh, I’m well aware that force had been initiated against him.)
I adopt this goal for the winter and it hasn’t snowed but once since then.
This isn’t as bad as it sounds. We’re using cloth diapers at home.
One key to this does seem to be placing a second diaper on top of him throughout the entire process. It’s not perfect, but it has helped me.
Go to http://x.up.com/45858 and vote for the Boise Limited. I’ve never been to Idaho, and I’d love for Union Pacific to foot the bill. You’ll also be helping my daughter get states #11 and #12.
I’d ordinarily not ask, but this one looks winnable AND (most importantly) could send me to a new state.
So, go Boise Limited! Send me to #45! Otherwise, I’m not at all sure how I’ll get to Idaho. It is very far from Chicago.
