Tiny houses are dumb

Really, they're stupid as a home. If you want a Mobil living area get a camper. If you want a small house get a small house. We went from mcmansions to this. Back in my day a tiny house was a trailer and you were white trash, now you're a hipster.
Efficient, appropriately sized houses. Do that.

Fix it Later

My daughter has a piece of paper hanging in her kitchen. It says "fix it later". I assume it was just an ironic joke, but it turns out, it's a reminder to just get it done.

It was the best of lines, it was the worst of lines.

So, to keep this pile from growing I'll get a little more out of my system.
What's the Tarbox Line?  It started with cyclocross, but really it's the definition for the way I go through life.  I'm not a leader or a follower, I'm a stumbler, a bumbler, always on the edge of having it together. I see life as a series of little adventures, sometimes as simple as riding your own line, or taking a new road to work.
So take a chance, do what makes sense to you, and try to be good at it.

Piles, these are what I make. While I wait for the perfect opportunity to do what ever it is I'm doing perfectly, things end up in piles. The clutter forms a perfect irony.

The Tarbox Line has been waiting in a pile for a couple years now while I try and figure out what to do with it. Rather than building more piles waiting for the perfect moment to arise, it's time to throw down the Tarbox Line.
