The Pot o Gold

On the way back from Sandpoint we saw a double rainbow on the lake.
We could see the entire thing from end to end. It was pretty cool!

My Workspace

You can tell a lot about a man by looking at his desk. See if you can spot the following items: Thick academic looking books to make me feel smart Quirky nose-shaped tissue dispenser USB powered  Secret knock candy dispenser I built myself using Arduino technology Ancient clock radio Spare capo just in case someone shows up in my office needing to quickly change keys Books I actually use stacked horizontally on top of books I rarely use Remote for my remotely controlled electrical outlet (completely unnecessary, but everything wireless is better right?)

I cannot count the number of times I’ve heard someone say something like, “This is the most important presidential election in our lifetime.” Let’s pause and reflect on that logic for a moment. What is that phrase meant to portray? It implies that if the election goes the wrong way then the unthinkable will happen. Never mind that the unthinkab...
