    ,

    Today, my parents and I went to the Huron Herb Fair at the Mulberry Creek Herb Farm in Huron. I am not all that interested in herbs, so I wandered around and took photos.

  • Day 176 – Aesop’s Fables

    , ,

    I came across a PDF version of Aesop’s Fables today, and I spent a while reading them. While reading them, I was struck by the economic principles his fables contained! Though the principles were not named until long after his time, some of his fables definitely contained some ideas that modern economics uses. I suspect…

  • 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 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…

    ,

    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.

  • 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…

    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…
