Chicken Coop Struggles
I really wanted to raise chickens this summer, and was disheartened when we didn't close on the house until mid-May. I was certain we'd missed the chicks by too long, especially…

Liberty Needs New Words
Liberty has a language barrier. The words we use to describe our ideal are meaningless and off-putting to those they might help. "Liberty," "Anarchy," "Natural Rights,"…

"You can have anything you want in life, if you will sacrifice everything else for it."
I admit it. I've been watching Grey's Anatomy. In my defense, I was trying to watch ER, because I felt like looking at George Clooney for a few seasons, but I misremembered…

"Futility of Defense" is a poor anti-gun argument.
When it comes to guns, I'm not pro-2nd Amendment. I'm pro-liberty. The Constitution of the United States has nothing to do with a person's natural rights to property and…

Mending
Husband busted the knee out of his work pants on Friday, so I had to hustle through a mend today. If we bought new every time he ripped his jeans, we'd be so broke. I've…

I'm thinking of taking up cross stitch
Plotted a pattern out, but neither of the nearby craft stores sell stitch canvas, so I won't get to start until maybe tomorrow.

Chain Link Quilt Block
That last seam was a bit of a struggle, but this was a fun project for the evening. I'm just doing a few practice blocks while I save to start a full-size blanket project.

In the store, at museums. I don't remember being told not to touch things. Just the concern that if I did, I'd be reprimanded. Now that I'm older, the worry is smaller. I…
