Civil and coastal engineering. Nonlinear waves, surge and urban flooding, tsunamis, post-disaster damage. Pet servant, guitar hack, sad Dodger fan.
In my 30 years as a homeowner, I have replaced eight toilets, all in my house. I don’t know why.

When I was growing up, my neighbors would be hit with the occasional Dutch (and the even more occasional Indonesian) wafting out into the wild. Some nasi goring and chicken satay with peanut butter sauce smoothed over the most stubborn hackles.

Should be a pleasant week of fall, as a complement to our annual week of spring.

…and democracy’s ghost goes to live in the crevices of the Hobby Lobby gold wall decor in the Oval Office…

This opinion piece is garbage, and Lynn’s fiction writing must be leaking into his opinion columns. He’s in the UK and hasn’t witnessed the supply shortages we are seeing as old pre-tariff inventories dry up.
