Intentional Planting
Planting with a purpose. I planted a tree over twenty years ago to shade my living room from the morning sun. I was intentional about what I planted and where I planted it. We all plant seeds, intentional or not, and they are going to grow. Shouldn't we be intentional?

Why I'm Not Getting The Shot
If you want to know why some of us don't want the shot, I explain why I don't want it. I can't speak for anyone else. It's not political, I promise, but if you are politically liberal, you may take it that way. The actual explanation starts around six minutes in if you want to skip ahead. Thanks for listening!

Gas Shortage May 2021
There was no gasoline shortage. The gas stations ran out of gas because of panic buying. Just like toilet paper last year, and bread and milk during a snow storm, the news media yelled fire in a crowded movie house and created a panic.

What Happened To American Manufacturing
This episode is a little bit of a departure from my normal episodes. It's a little bit of a tirade on how greed allowed manufacturers to put profit above all else and allowed accountants to run their companies. I talk about accountants, CPAs, MBAs, large corporations at the beginning of the episode and end with an example of how a small company became a big company, then sold out for profit. That's what has happened to American manufacturing!

I Didn't Mean To Hurt You
"I didn't mean to hurt you" is not really an apology. It's almost passive aggressive. It's like saying, I'm not really sorry for what I did. I'm just sorry you couldn't handle it.

Dr Suess Enterprises has decided to stop publishing six of the books in their library due to their opinion that these books "portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."

Sedition, Insurrection, and Impeachment
The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is going on now. It is such a blatantly political move on the part of the Democrats in Washington, that the whole trial should be dismissed.

Fixin To
One of my favorite Southernisms, "fixin to". For years I didn't know it was a Southern thing. I thought everybody said it. "Fixin" as a noun is purely marketing. This is a more lighthearted episode than the last one, and as a bonus, you can actually hear the road noise in the background. BTW, I don't know whose tag this is in the picture. I just thought it was cool.

Nobody Wants To Suck
Nobody wants to suck! It's a crude way to put it, but it gets the point across. We all want to do a good job, but sometimes we suck at it.

Learn To Apologize
The apology is underrated. You don't have to be wrong to apologize for how you made someone feel. The apology restores your relationship, and it's better to do it sooner, rather than later.
