Marking my washing machine and its eager maw of sock consumption:. Categories: It Came from the Basement. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Edited ...

Daughter Number Three: Cutting Down the Last Tree, Selling the Last Drop of Water
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2008/06/cutting-down-last-tree-selling-last.html
Friday, June 20, 2008. Cutting Down the Last Tree, Selling the Last Drop of Water. I'm finally reading Jared Diamond's book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. A recurring question in the book so far is, How can a people let the degradation of their land go so far that their society collapses? This question becomes even more specific: How can someone cut down the last tree and not realize that it's clearly not a good idea? According to the Herald. The proposed deal with Poland Spring would...

Daughter Number Three: Bizarre Iconography of Diaper-Changing Tables
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2008/08/bizarre-iconography-of-diaper-changing.html
Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Bizarre Iconography of Diaper-Changing Tables. There are aliens among us. Or, at least, that's what you'd think if you based your mental image of humans on the way they are portrayed in the graphics on the fold-out diaper changing tables found in the public restrooms of America. What species is that? Is that an udder at the bottom? From an Ohio highway rest stop. ). Check out that baby's legs. They look like the top of a soft serve cone! No, mom, don't hit me! Words in My Mouth.

Daughter Number Three: Images of the Midwest
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2015/07/images-of-midwest.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. Images of the Midwest. Now it's what I would call a working-class to middle-class vacation spot for people with kids. There's a three-block stretch of the original downtown that's like a boardwalk, including lots of shops selling tacky T-shirts. Several shops put the "art" on the walls and you can get it printed immediately onto whatever type of shirt you want. This wall o' stuff caught my attention because of the rip-offs of Shephard Fairey's OBEY graphic. There's something wrong ...

Daughter Number Three: Another Way to Steal from Your Employees
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2015/05/another-way-to-steal-from-your-employees.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Another Way to Steal from Your Employees. I just saw this new article from The Nation. About the retail chains exploit workers by making them "managers". So they don't have to be paid overtime. As I've written before. Dollar" stores are notorious for this, but it's also common in fast food and just about every other type of corporate-owned retail. My blood is at a moderate boil once again. Categories: How Do They Sleep at Night? May 24, 2015 at 3:38 PM. View Posts by Date. Nice t...

The Bicycle Garden: September 2013
http://www.thebikegarden.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
I'm looking for my manual for graceful living. I think I set it down somewhere over here. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. You may remember that a couple of autumns ago I was working on building this bicycle frame from scratch:. I was having an incredibly fun time of it, but then, you know, life intervened. First it got too cold to work in the shop. Then we started a big house remodel and the workers took over my workspace. Then I had to bring my garden back to life. It's an old story.

Daughter Number Three: Incomplete Thoughts on Age and Rights
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2013/12/incomplete-thoughts-on-age-and-rights.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. Incomplete Thoughts on Age and Rights. One morning I woke up thinking about legal standards for my ideal society, particularly when it comes to age. When should rights and responsibilities apply? The US. system had a period of 10–15 years when almost all laws said you became an adult at 18: As of 1972, you could vote, marry, sign a contract, enlist in the military, and drink alcohol. And very few people under. 18 who committed a crime were treated as adults. Recommend that 14-...

Daughter Number Three: Elephants, Part 2
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2014/03/elephants-part-2.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Elephants, Part 2. Not only do elephants know each other. Even though they've been separated for years, they also can differentiate human languages and tell apart the voices of men, women, and children:. They are making such a fine-level discrimination using human language skills," Shannon said. "They're able to acquire quite detailed knowledge. The only way of doing this is with an exceptionally large brain.". This is both fascinating in that it supports evidence we already have...

Daughter Number Three: Summer Tweets
http://daughternumberthree.blogspot.com/2015/08/summer-tweets.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. July was pretty much cool in the upper Midwest. It ended a little hotter, with Cecil the lion, but I've already said enough about that. I started following activist Bree Newsome, who took down the Confederate flag after the white supremacist killings in Charleston. That was one of the major topics of the month:. If this Republican Party were truly the "party of Lincoln,” it wouldn't be defending the confederacy. Let's be real. This is about racism. I was raised Hindu — I c...
