Interesting choice of wording for a “subscribe to our mailing list” box.

And making it a required field is decidedly uncool.

Idea: Local Tuckerboxes.

Like those mini libraries of old books people have out the front of their homes, but instead of books you put in the excess fruit and veg from your backyard garden.

When in doubt, remember that bats navigate through echolocation, which is best described as a process of screaming at the environment until it tells you where to go

Meanwhile, rockstardom remains elusive.

So, yeah, I guess that’s my “stay in school” speech for all you young folk out there.

I once had a heated argument with my middle school maths teacher, insisting it that it was a waste of everybody’s time to try and teach me, a future rock star, how to do trigonometry.

Today, 30 years later, I had to Google sine and cosine functions for the billionth time.
