NIMBY
Haven’t written in a while, but it hasn’t been for lack of material. Sorry for holding out.
I’m inspired tonight by the idea of NOT IN MY BACK YARD, also known as NIMBY. This is a prevalent in human psychology. The gist of this notion is : “i don’t give a shit what you do, as long as it’s not in my back yard.”
Back yard, in this analogy can...

Towel?
I’m a simple man, but one thing really pisses me off; pardon me while I rant.

“Hey, instead of getting your hands dry immediately with a biodegradable paper towel, why don’t you put them under this lukewarm breeze for a 5 minutes.
