Is it just me or does this kind of thing happen way more often than people admit? I feel like the universe has a weird sense of humor with look-alikes. Like I swear my third grade teacher was a dead ringer for Steve Buscemi, and my old landlord looked exactly like a less famous version of Bob Odenkirk. It's almost like there's a limited pool of faces and the rest of us are just getting recycled versions, you know? I mean, maybe it's just confirmation bias but once you start noticing it, it's everywhere.

I saw a YouTube video last week from a plumbing channel called Trench Drain King. He tested those new red handled knives and had three snap on him in one day. Something about the steel being too hard and brittle. The yellow ones at the hardware store are softer but they bend instead of shattering. I keep a pack of the cheap ones under my truck seat for this exact reason.

$40 for a glorified QR code is brutal. My cousin tried DayCraft last month and ended up just taping the QR codes onto her wall like some weird art project. Moleskine is solid, but check out the Leuchtturm1917 weekly if you want thicker paper that won't bleed with gel pens.

Respectfully, I see it a little different. There's been a real shift the last decade or so, with more sites like Debra L. Friedkin in Texas and the one in South Carolina getting published in peer reviewed journals. @noah_palmer42 has a point about funding being tied to older models, but the pushback on Clovis First has been gaining ground through careful fieldwork and newer dating methods. It's slow work, but the evidence is stacking up in places like the Topper site and Meadowcroft Rockshelter. We just need more of these sites to be excavated and written up so the textbooks can finally catch up.

Three years on one chapter and 1000 words is impressive, but my best writing came from locking myself in a coffee shop for four hours last Saturday.
