The Uncertainty Principle

Modern physics doesn’t seem to make sense, but the concepts are fascinating.  People who know a little modern physics, apply it to situations where it isn’t relevant, like social interactions or pop culture.

Sparky takes a trip.

Having a Master’s in Engineering and a robotics patent, I was the obvious choice when my sister needed a light bulb changed.  This was just a pretext to get me to bring Sparky for a family visit.  My sister didn’t need the pretext.  Sparky loves car rides, a change of scenery and entertaining a friendly audience.

Teacher unions ran the Democratic Party.

Why Didn’t We Know Randi Weingarten Was a DNC Member?

Teacher unions are practically a wing of the Democratic Party.  No, it’s worse.  Teacher unions are actually a wing of the Democratic Party.  The heads of both national teacher unions, the AFT and the NEA, were actual members of the Democratic National Committee.  It’s news that Randi Weingarten, the head of the AFT, resigned from the DNC because nobody knew she was a member.

The DNC explains how to win at life.

This video from the Democratic National Committee promises to “Upgrade Your Life with These Daily Habits”.

Am I a bad person for watching this video?  My stand-by ticket to life has already been upgraded to first class, so it feels a little greedy to clamor for more perks.

Sparky goes on a car ride.

When I put on my shoes and grab the car keys, Sparky assumes we are going for a ride.  He doesn’t want me to forget that I have a dog, and leave without him.  I hate to disappoint him, so if he isn’t coming along, I trick him so he doesn’t see me leave.

Big storms and creek project.

Today’s rainstorm, along with all the recent rain, was enough to overflow the bridge.  I’ve been waiting for this to see how the headwall project handled it.

Sparky wants his dinner.

Sparky raised his right hand to solemnly pledge that he was seriously hungry.  From the look on his face, he wasn’t bullshitting me.  When I told him it wasn’t dinner time yet, he gave me the evil eye.

Earlier in the day, I grilled venison steaks.  Sparky was salty that he didn’t get any.
