I write my heart out trying to convey information about better home planning and building. I word everything for easy understanding, boiling down topics to their very essence so they'll be interesting, informative and educational. But not enough people read what I write. I can't cut through the clutter of rude, crude, often downright nasty distractions which offer dirty fun without the threat of learning. I already know I can't compete in a world mired in filthy habits and with a total … [Read more...]
Watchtower Star
A good king ruled a peaceful and prosperous nation. The king kept a bright fire burning in a tall watchtower, at a corner of his castle, as a sign to everyone that he was a great and powerful sovereign. Soldiers were charged with keeping the fire stoked, using, as fuel, timber from across the king’s domain. The radiance of the tower flame was so bright it could be seen for many miles in the day, and many more at night. The people regarded it as the Watchtower Star. Of all the treasures the king … [Read more...]
So Worldly
I feel so grown up. Today, I got my first ever extortion email.

DEPEND-able Directional Control
Here is something I have witnessed, and aspire to: It is my fervent hope, that when I reach the age of 100, I will have the apparently-specifically-centenarian ability of Directional Urination with which I will be able to choose at will a carefully calculated vector and trajectory so as to allow me to pee entirely around my fully absorbent, over-night underpants. This is something I have personally observed. It seems to offer, not only relief in the moment, but in a body and mind still … [Read more...]
GIANT CHICKEN ELECTRICAL COMPANY
If there’s a job to do, but no one ever does it, will it ever get done? When no one checks for errors, and those errors escape into the wild, can they ever be corralled back again? For example: I draw house plans. I use a computer, now, but years ago, plans were drawn by hand with a pencil and paper. If a builder wanted to re-use a set of plans, and needed to flip or reverse those plans - maybe so the driveway would be on a particular side of the house - but the builder didn’t want to pay to … [Read more...]
