Very Strong Opinions
"Strong opinions, weakly held." Steve Jobs MDF
Apple Watches are a technical marvel. But they shouldn't be worn at weddings or formal events.
Shoes bring dirt in. I will not argue that. But if you have a "no shoes in the house" rule, please also have a long shoe horn to help me get them back on.
Clothes, for the most part, should be comfortable. There are a few exceptions for style, but pain or constant fussing makes the best outfit look bad.
Cars are too fast to learn a city. Their efficiency doesn't allow you the time to observe. If you want to know a neighborhood, walk it. If you want to know a city, bike it.
Shoelaces for most modern shoes are inconvenient and ugly. Shoes are never photographed with bunny ears, because even the companies know it looks like shit. If you don't tie it just right, they untie themselves. I've switched to elastic lace replacements designed for runners.
Any bed is at it's most comfortable in the morning. Especially when you have to get out of it.
Sandwiches are only as good as the bread they're on.
Seasons come and go, but you should only complain about one of them. If you hate winter, don't tell me about how you also hate summer. For the record, I hate east coast summers. Loving multiple seasons is allowed, because joy is always welcome.
PakTech the plastic 4-6 pack holder that most craft beer comes in is the absolute worst. Besides being hard to remove cans, it's wasteful when 6-pack boxes are available. I understand that a box costs more, but a modern - animal safe - solution should be developed.
Novels should be contained in a single book. A series is often the result of a lazy editor and a writer under contract. I don't care if a book is 1000 pages long, I'd take it over four 250 page books.
Trefoils are the all-time best Girl Scout Cookie.
Pure chocolate is not candy.
A BLT is the best way to find out how a deli will make any sandwich. The ingredients are simple and minimal, and the way they are prepared / combined will tell you everything you need to know.
Oven bacon is the best way to cook more than 2 slices. Especially for sandwiches.
