Delta Airlines, like your HOA and your insurance carrier, go into a disagreement expecting you to back down. DO NOT BACK DOWN.

Weird dream - I woke thinking that The Talking Head's "Life During Wartime" was narrated by an older, wiser Benjamin Braddock and the song is a sequel to "The Graduate"

The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power. The rule was formulated by Erica Chenoweth in 2013.

To everyone thats attending protests today, stay safe.

Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
All our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered around
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now.

November 25, 1970, famed Japanese writer and political provocateur, Yukio Mishima, addressed a gathering of military men and told them that they had betrayed traditional Japanese values. When he realized how poorly his speech had gone, he committed ritual suicide. Be like Yukio.

They'll surround some shitty apartment in Provo this weekend and some kid will die of "self-inflicted" gun wounds. There's your killer. Bullshit, this was a pro. And he's long gone

It was a blast and an honor to teach Entomology for the Dekalb Co. Naturalist program for the third year in a row. The students are always brilliant and we found some great insects and spiders.

I watched a few episodes of Nat Geo's excellent series on The Secret History of the Mongols last night. Very very well done. My only minor complaint is that at no time does Genghis Khan wildly exclaim "I feel this Tartar woman is for me! My blood screams Take Her!!!!".

Your HOA and Health Insurance carrier are likely bullies that aren't going to tell you the truth. Fight them when you have to.
