My two oldest boys sleep in bunk beds above my wife and I's room. I forgot the sound of the oldest jumping out of bed at 2 AM to get a glass of water. The way he stomps his feet the entire way downstairs. How he jumps down the last five stairs and catches himself on the wall.
My boys are back. Three things 1. My kids are really the best 2. I'm back to having to cook constantly to keep up 3. Again, my kids are the best and 90% of the discourse on twitter is so annoying why am I even on here

I really want to set my wake up alarm as "Party All The Time" by Eddie Murphy but I worried about how this will affect my marriage.

The Volvo 244. Is it reliable, simple, and easy to work on? Yes, yes, and no.

The safest place for kids when you are working under a car is far away from the car. The second safest place is in the car.

If I ever start an automotive fluids company, I'm going to name the starting fluid "Ether, Or".

Spent all summer with a wasp nest in the tractor hitch, which was on the three point all summer. Never saw them I took it off to attach a box scraper and they were mad. Out of wasp spray. Also ether doesn't kill wasps. It just makes them mad. But the match killed them.

If you sale honey on Facebook, people will call at 9 PM on Friday to cut out your dry wall to rescue a bee swarm, or just a bunch of paper wasps.

I'm a simple man. The only reason I married my wife is because she is interesting, beautiful, hard working, witty, smart, cultured, and efficient.

You know what is a flex? A fully paid off 1988 Volvo 244 with 305,000 miles. Women want you. Men want to be you.
Having a paid off Corolla is not a flex.

May try to work this into a piece but Trump has got major Napoleon III vibes; no real ideological platform beyond ambiguous platitudes, big on appearing great, laser focus on aesthetics over substance

From what I have learned about @TheRestHistory , "The Germans were not that bad. Except for Martin Luther, he was terrible."
For the first time I found myself yelling in the car at a podcast @TheRestHistory with their episode in Belgium in WW1. Apparently civilian massacres, the burning of the Leuven library etc. were just because the invaders were scared, and they "felt bad about it". Well then.

I'm a millennial and this was true. Grabbed my bike and just went for it all day. I never remember my parents being upset. And this was in elementary school, 8-10 years old.
Be Honest.. Did parents really just let their kids wander the neighborhood all day with no phone and just say... be back before dark?

I took soil physics in college and on the first day a student asked "is there a lot of math". The professor said, "the class is half physics, half math, and physics is 90% math." He then showed how this equals 95% math. Statistics is 95% calculating the area under a curve.
@jeremykauffman I have never gotten a satisfactory explanation for why high schools will have a student spend a year studying calculus (which will be useless for nearly all of them) instead of a year studying statistics, which will improve ALL of their lives greatly.

My son's birthday is coming up and I'm sick of the star wars Legos. I think I might make him learn about D-Day instead.
