Monday got a text from the dentist reminding me of an appointment on Wednesday. Which seemed vaguely odd because the last visit wasn't very long ago, I didn't think. Woke up this morning in some anxiety about getting there in time, looked back at my phone, and the appointment was for Wednesday, February 16. What is the possible use of a reminder for an appointment four months away? Who does that???
Anyway if I seem unusually quarrelsome today, maybe you can chalk it up to that and forgive me.

Scarcity mentality
"Oh," say some of my friends, "what's with this scarcity mentality?" This is one reason.

Somehow we still don't have enough to cover the actual needs of our human population and the theoretical needs of our defense establishment. Why is that?
