Month: June 2017

we had five chicks growing up on a ledge outside our front door. it happens every year. they’re so cute and the parents were so attentive. they decided to try to leave the nest today. they flew around for a while but didn’t want to leave. mom kept bringing them bugs. i think one of them was unprepared. it hit the ground and — i think — broke its face. i wrapped it in a towel and let it rest in peace. the other 4 seem to back in the nest for the night. i hope they all make it tomorrow. 

if a bailout is required by the taxpayers, a tax should be imposed on the investors and on the bank. this tax should be applied back to the investors who did not lose everything but they should lose something. in other words, bankers and investors should not get rich on bailouts. they should lose in bailouts equally. the share, the burden, should be distributed equally among the taxpayers and the investors/bankers, in a graduated, progressive fashion. those who have the most to lose should lose the most. those who have the least to lose, should lose the least. 

i get distracted somewhat easily but i’m not sure it’s because of the traditional ADHD excuse that many people use. i think i have trouble editing myself. i have too many ideas, too many projects, and lists that stretch on forever that i can’t seem to edit effectively. it sucks. i need to work on this in particular. i need to evaluate "good ideas" and toss away the "bad ideas." but more importantly, i need to quantify and qualify my life goals — and stick to them. in other words, goals about goals.
