Friday, May 8, 2020 – It seems like everyone has their favorite “expert” for every little issue, whether it is a global pandemic, murder hornets, or something as benign as which vegetables to eat.

Day 52 – A Random, Brief, and Very Bloody History of the Virginia State Motto
Thursday, May 7, 2020 – In case you have not figured it out, I am a total nerd. Since yesterday’s post centered around a Latin phrase close to the Virginia state motto—Sic semper tyrannis—I thought it would be fun to dig up some history on this fairly famous phrase. Turns out it is a weird, Read More
Day 51 – Sic Semper Desiderare Mortem Homini
Wednesday, May 6, 2020 – An alarming trend is happening. Of late, I have seen several people declare “I’ve lost all respect for people who…” as well as numerous posts wishing ill-will and even death to those who disagree with their views. Yes, for real, I have seen people actively wishing that others die for Read More
Day 50 – And Now for Something Serious: Masks
Tuesday, May 5, 2020 – It seems everyone is on to this new fad of demanding everyone else wear masks. I have seen a great number of people post online wining about other people not wearing masks, berating other people, spreading weird and bad information about efficacy, and generally just being **itchy towards other people.

Day 49 – Seven Weeks Down…SEVEN!!!
Monday, May 4, 2020 – When I started writing my daily thoughts, I honestly did not think it would go this long. Just over 22,370 words later, I am still writing my vastly un-read, totally incoherent ramblings. Again…over 22K words!

Day 48 – On the Importance of Learning a Trade
Sunday, May 3, 2020 – Yesterday I talked about the importance of having blessings on your dwelling, office, vehicle, etc. Today I would like to cover the importance of learning a trade or, at the very least, recognizing that is in fact NOT a gift the Lord has bestowed on you and therefore maintaining good Read More
Day 47 – On the Importance of House/Building/Automotive Blessings
Saturday, May 2, 2020 – This post started out as an homage to the glorious tradespeople who keep our home from falling apart. However, I quickly realized there was a whole other set of people that keep our properties from falling into spiritual disrepair: Priests! If you have not had your home, office, car, etc. Read More
Day 46 – Am I Seeking Praise? Or, Am I Just Jealous?
Friday, May 1, 2020 – How many of you remember group projects in school? Rather, do you remember the old dynamics: one person does the work, one person takes the credit, the others just sort of sit there along for the ride. I was always the kid who did the work. I did not mind Read More
Day 45 – A Related / Unrelated Thought Experiment
Thursday, April 30, 2020 – I am going to attempt a thought experiment that will probably upset a great many people. However, I think that it is important to think about and discuss these issues. To that end, I am going to make this fairly focused on a specific issue surrounding my own life. It Read More
Day 44 – What is Mr. Flusche Doing These Days?
Wednesday, April 29, 2020 – In case you did not know, defense attorneys spend about 50% of their day in court, mostly waiting on judges and clerks to stamp papers, and the other 50% of their day answering the same questions via phone calls and emails over and over and over and over. The life Read More
