what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

I prefer simple solutions, clean lines and no bullshit. Like taking the hypotenuse through the park.  Like shaving with Occam's razor once a week or so. Like wearing a black t-shirt.

Sometimes complications to the simple life are unavoidable, sometimes they're comical and sometimes they really suck.

Take a track bike and weld on a derailleur hanger so you can use it to mount a chain tensioner to run it singlespeed. Roundabout backtracking waste of time fucking-it-up when it was fine to begin with.

Take a garden hose to water the flowers and go out a buy a $43 attachment that sprays in 7 different patterns when all you really needed to modulate the flow of water was your thumb   which was free.

I found the simple life  aint so simple

drinking water out of the hose is best,more so when it's been sitting in the sun all day. It's the simple things.

solar powered plastic flavored long tall drink of warm water

here's another one: take an old dual-cassette boombox and get one of those iPod adapters in one of the cassette players so you can plug in your device to play a podcast of an NPR show when all you had to do was turn on the radio and tune it to 94.9 KUOW. shit.

just saw H. Crone in the 98178 a few doors down working on a gnarly yard & garden. it's a small world after all.

and another one: Let's meet at the bar at 7. enough said. no need for 17 text messages about traffic, parking, road construction, parking and traffic, no gps to get me there, no google maps, no fucking apps. let's have a beer.

As for the last one...folks these days use the texting to keep the plans "open" until the last minute, when they text you to say they are running late, assuming something better didn't come along. Word is bond?
