Clearing the Tabs October 15, 2023

Here are some things I've read so far this month or will be reading soon. A lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, expect a post on October 31. Also, just because I post something here does not mean I agree with it, it simply means it made me think and I think my readers might enjoy it.

Clearing the Tabs December 31, 2020

Closing out 2020 with some things I've read so far in the second half of this month, or will be reading soon. It appears that a lot of people are staying at home looking for things to read, so I've broken this month into two parts again, and will probably keep doing this for a while. Also, just because I share something on here does not mean I agree with it, but I think opposing ideas are good for the mind on occasion. I will be back in 2021, I hope you will be back as well.

I recently tried the Hitch app and it was a great experience. Hitch is like Uber and Lyft, but in stead of going from place to place in a city, it takes you from one city to another. I really enjoyed my experience, and despite Covid-19 in the world ride now, the drivers keep their cars incredibly clean and everyone wears a mask. I highly recommend. Try Hitch via this link and save a bit on your first experience.
