Day 175 – My Thoughts on Jeff Knaebel
A friend of mine sent me a link to an article about an anti-war protestor renouncing his U.S. citizenshipArchived Link in New Delhi. The man, Jeff Knaebel, declared independence from not just the U.S. government, but all governments, and made a speech about how non-voluntary citizenship is forced slavery. He afterwards destroyed his passport, birth…

Day 173 – My Night to Cook
I decided to cook dinner for my parents tonight, so I made a spicy chicken stir fry, spinach salad, and vegetables with dip. This was my first serious try at cooking entirely by myself. (The photos above were an afterthought, so they are composed of the left-overs, not single portions. The portions were much bigger…

Day 172 – Father’s Day / Chalk Walk
First of all, Happy Father’s Day, Dad! I love you! This morning, my parents and I went down to Fin Feather Fur in Ashland to let my Dad pick out his Father’s Day gift. We wanted to get him a good CCW handgun, so he picked out the Walther PPS. Great pistol! Then, I took…

Day 171 – Cleaning
Today was a day of cleaning for me. Amanda came over and helped me clean out my room and we took a few bags of trash out and reorganized things significantly. Then, after she left, I helped my parents take the cover off of the pool and start the cleaning process to get the big…

Day 170 – Canoeing in Huron
Today, I worked in the morning, then went to visit David Wagner. We decided to go canoeing on the Huron River, which was quite an adventure. The weather was excellent when we started out, but by the time we got about a mile and a half up the river, a huge thunderstorm rolled in. Around…

Day 169 – Music in the Park
This summer, the Amherst Rotary Club is sponsoring live music on Thursdays at 7 p.m. in the park that it maintains in front of Amherst Hospital on Cleveland Ave. Tonight the LCCC Jazz Band was playing. I took the opportunity to go out and take some photos. Let me know what you think. As always,…

Day 168 – Two Articles Against Zoning Laws
Over the past few years, I have had numerous conversations with people on property rights and why I believe property owners should be able to use their property as they see fit, as long as it does not involve aggressing against another’s person or property. Here is a usual response I get: Friend – “So…

A week from when I am writing this, I will be standing in line waiting to get in to the midnight showing of Transformers 2 – Revenge of the Fallen. In order to celebrate this and get everyone excited about the upcoming movie, here are two desktop wallpapers that my friend Sean Nelson made last…

Day 165 – Weekend Recap
First of all, thank you Joe Teets (nonarchist) for doing my updates for the past two days on such short notice. I flew home from New York on Friday, come home for 20 minutes to repack, then drove south to Ohio University for the weekend for my cousin’s graduation. We stayed in a cabin, which…

Day 164 – Another Guest Post
Hey, it’s Joe again posting in the place of Chuck, who is out of town probably shoving his camera in the faces of unsuspecting strangers. Thanks again for letting me post the last 2 days, thereby making my contribution .547945% of Project 365! I saw The Hangover last night (overrated in my opinion), so that…

Day 163 – Guest Post
Unfortunately, Chuck is MIA today, so the Nonarchist will be filling in for him today and tomorrow in order to keep Project 365 alive. I have posted some comments here on the CAG Blog in the past, always signing as the Nonarchist, but I figure in the interest of full disclosure, I will reveal myself…

Day 162 – A Contest
Yesterday during one of the question and answer sessions at FEE, one of the professors, Gene Callahan, brought up this hypothetical situation for the students to think about and attempt to answer, then he revealed the actual answer to us. So, since I occasionally ask questions on here for people to answer, I am going…

Day 161 – Manhattan Adventure
The lectures and discussions at FEE ended a little earlier than normal today (we did not have any lectures or discussion after dinner), so 5 of us decided to take the train up to NYC for the evening. We wandered all around Manhattan and had a lot of fun. We didn’t know each other before…

Day 160 – FEE, Second Day
Today was my second day at FEE (but the first full day). The seminars have been great so far! A few of my friends from Hillsdale are here, so I have enjoyed catching up with them in between seminars. Here is a shot from the room that the seminars are in:

Day 159 – Arrival at FEE
Today, Brad Akin and I made our way up to Irvington, NY for a week of lectures at the Foundation for Economic Education. After a short flight, two taxis, a train, and some lunch, we crashed in the hotel room for a few hours, then went to the first two lectures at FEE. I will…

Day 157 – Hammock
This is what I like to do in the summer–lay in my hammock. I frequently substitute a book for my laptop, though. (By the way, I am posting this while I am out in my hammock.) Other things I like to do: take photos, shoot trap/skeet/sporting clays, read, and spend time with family and friends.…

Day 156 – Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
I thought a little bit this evening about how much Hillsdale has challenged and changed my ideas, just over the last year. What started this tonight was that I read a note from my friend Matt Stone, who is interning in DC this summer. He went to a lecture hosted by the Leadership Institute, and…
