Their watery graves

June 22, 2023 by Dave Knadler

Five very rich people die during a recreational outing to see the Titanic. The world wrings its hands.  Hundreds die in the Mediterranean while trying to escape crushing poverty. The world shrugs. Both happened in the same week, maybe on the same day. But only the billionaires merited sustained news coverage and endless analysis. […]

Where eagles pair

April 4, 2023 by Dave Knadler

At some point today you may be tempted to turn on the TV to see what’s happening with a certain elderly, deranged Florida man who is appearing in court to face a long list of felony charges. I’m here to say you shouldn’t. No matter what the elderly man says, or what the national […]

Jigsaw etiquette

April 22, 2020 by Dave Knadler

During these uncertain times, you may find yourself borrowing jigsaw puzzles. I hate to borrow anything, but I don’t own any puzzles, and looking online I see that pretty much anything rated age 6 and above is back-ordered to around 2025. Some neighbors were nice enough to loan us a few. We worked on […]

Black list

September 10, 2019 by Dave Knadler

Not just shrugging off the malignant stupidity and breathtaking corruption of the last three years, but actually sending money to prop up the world’s largest sack of shit. Would it matter? It would matter to me. A lot. It […]

Weather-beaten banner

November 5, 2018 by Dave Knadler

When we first moved to this old neighborhood in Northeast Florida, I decided to hang an American flag out front. Not for patriotic reasons, really; it’s just that the previous owners had one, and this is a historic area where Old Glory on the front porch kind of fits the vibe. Florida’s heat and […]

Downward-facing decade

phones and the mona lisa

I wonder: Has the iPhone made the world a better place, or a worse one? Always a popular subject and more in vogue this month now that the iPhone has turned 10. (Any anniversary that’s a multiple of five is red meat to pundits caught in the dog days of summer.) And so Timothy […]
