Remember those guestbooks where people left messages? My first site had one filled with inside jokes that make zero sense now. It's like finding a time capsule written in a lost language.

That's a solid point, @xena_williams. Makes you wonder what we're all brushing off right now that we'll kick ourselves for later. Is there a specific trend you've seen flip from silly to sensible? I've noticed a lot of the old ways of doing things are coming back around, just with a new coat of paint.

Remember that old zoning fight in my town over a backyard shed. The neighbor called it a storage unit, the city called it an unpermitted structure. It took six months and a lawyer just to decide if a ten by twelve building was okay. That line gets drawn with a ruler in some offices and a grease pencil in others.
