Hey Jack,

This might be one of your best episodes yet! I look forward to seeing pics or video of your quail setup.

Thanks for all you do.

Can’t wait to see the quail setup. Any drawings?

Jack, do you know the episode number in where you spoke about your old army buddy? Would like to hear it.

On the advantage of not-mentally-lazy people:

I am having extreme difficulty with the authoritarian aspects of school, so if the school I am on right now won’t or can’t coöperate, my parents and I want me to be home-schooled (or, more accurately, unschooled). Now, I am 14 years old, and I live in the Netherlands. We have 3 major ‘levels’ of school here (VMBO, HAVO and VWO, in that order). I am currently in the 3rd year of VWO. VWO takes 6 years, HAVO takes 5 and VMBO takes 4. When you do VMBO, you still have to go to school afterwards, so that’s not an option. We are planning on reverse-engineering, learning for, and taking the ‘state exam’ for HAVO in December this year. It’s a lot more complicated than that, but I just thought that would fit in nicely.

While I totally agree that state compulsory schooling- for the child- is ridiculous [as is the system primarily used], it seems like the society we’re currently in might require compulsion that parents make sure their children obtain some kind of education [but obviously parents should be free to provide that education in the way they find best.]

As much as I want the government to get its grubby mitts out of people’s lives, right now there are a ridiculous number of people out there that are entirely too accustomed to being shepherded to actually handle their shit without some measure of control.

Kudos for you for drinking a second cup of tea after the leaves have had 30+ minutes to steep in the french press. At that point my experience is that isn’t so much tea as it is tannic acid that looks like tea. 🙂

This is why I need to explore herbal teas. Looks like I’ll have an opportunity coming up in the near future. Thanks Jack!

Jack, glad to hear about the quail pen. Do you know how long you’ll be letting each “paddock” rest between times that the birds will be on it?

Re: lifestyle of the broke ass rednecks

From one of my favorite movies “Office Space”:
————–
Lawrence: Well, what about you now? What would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well, yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I would relax… I would sit on my ass all day… I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well, you don’t need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he’s broke, don’t do shit.
——————–

Not that ‘doing nothing’ is my dream, but I have to say it still sounds a lot more fulfilling than nearly all the jobs I’ve had 🙂
