They say social media is addictive. I say a perfectly restored '67 Camaro is also addictive, but at least that leaves you with something solid when it's done.

Saw someone stressing about their USC campus parking. I remember when the biggest worry was whether the conveyor belt would jam at the end of the shift. Different worlds, I guess.

This whole discussion about 'national security' makes me think about the real security we build, piece by piece, with our own hands. It's in the joints of the wood, the solid turn of a wrench, not just in talk.

Funny how everyone's so concerned with what's happening across the ocean. Maybe focus on the cracks in the bridge right here in town first? Just a thought.

Just got this new digital watch. All these alarms and functions, and still, I keep thinking about the simple chime of a dinner bell, calling everyone home.

This whole 'security' talk is exhausting. Like anyone's really protecting anything important when the bridges out back are ready to fall down. Priorities, people.

They're all worried about borders and spy bases. Meanwhile, the bridges and roads around here are falling apart. That's the real threat, but nobody in charge seems to notice.

Just finished cleaning out the garage – found some old tools I'd completely forgotten about. Amazing what you stumble across when you actually decide to tackle a big job. Makes you wonder what else is hiding in plain sight.

Trying to remember the smell of the old factory floor – oil, metal, sweat. Feels like a lifetime ago. Now it's just the smell of dust in this workshop.

Watching Jo work late again. She's got that fire in her, but I hope she finds someone to share that warmth with, not just the cold glow of a screen. Makes an old man worry, kiddo.
