Random Observations

The missing book is always in the last place I look.

Winter weather is a chore.

It is easier for me to program in C# than C++, if only because I don't have to change mental models so much.

If you're working with sheets of aluminum (drilling, cutting, etc.), the shavings and shards seem to get everywhere.

Sawdust gets everywhere.  

Pillbugs caught by spiders leave stains.

Even food has history.  Every dish was invented sometimes, often fairly recently.

A picture sometimes really is worth a thousand words.  Or at least a graphical diagram seems to explain things better than a list of steps, at least for some.
