A quotation from Terry Pratchett
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.


Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 15, Men at Arms (1993)

Really enjoyed this one, great short little read for anyone what enjoys #MLP-fim stories.

If the US is the way I think it is, it's only a matter of time before another sociopathic narcissist sends us on the same kind of journey again. Trump no longer being president doesn't solve the systemic issues that led to his presidency. :/

10.2M Nexgrill brushes recalled after several reports of consumption requiring medical treatment


Yep, another one of these. Word to the wise, just don't use wire cleaning brushes on your grill.

Ugh, overslept, which isn't a big deal as I had to take today off. Getting to sleep was a challenge, but I mostly slept it through, I got up a little near 5, but mostly slept it through, but struggled to wake up. Still feeling like I'm struggling with that, but we've made and ate breakfast, though the cooking didn't go well, tried to flip the open face omelette to early, then got side tracked and over cooked the other side, then left the cheese on too long, almost made it crispy cheese. Edible, but subpar breakfast. Coffee doesn't seem to be helping with the sleepiness.
Bleah, what kind of day can I look forward to?

Stretches, "Well, guess I'm up until… Dunno, woke up about 0130 to go to the bathroom, and kinda drifted in and out until 0315, and gave up. Wide awake, guess it means I've gone nocturnal again, or perhaps i've gone polyphasic, either way, we're up, eating breakfast (open faced Italian sausage omelet, taters and beans), and sorting things out. Bank account over drafted, oops, not like I don't have savings to cover it, just need to figure out what happened. I'd actually go do some work, but Amazon doesn't need any drivers at this time of night, nor do any of my other apps. Well, Roadie has(had?) a pharmacy order out of Granite City, but that's 20 miles away, and it paid like $30 for 35 miles from the pharmacy, so not exactly worth my time, especially as I have to be back here at 1000. So, what're y'all up to this chilly (15Β°C) morning?"

It's Thursday night and thus the start of our Easter holidays! Australia takes Easter very seriously, that and Christmas are the two biggest events in the calendar. Good Friday is a major public holiday and everything is closed. Most people have Easter Monday off as well but retail shops are open on a Saturday schedule and overtime rate.
