Pretty great story by Arian Foster, especially point #6.

An excerpt:

6. The flying spaghetti monster. There are billions of people on Earth with hundreds of religions and sects that trickle off each other. I will never tell her what to believe in. I know parents are very influential on kids’ spiritual beliefs and that can be a positive or negative thing. I can give her a basic understanding of religions when she starts showing interest and asking questions. But I will remain silent otherwise. How can I make a young mind believe this is the truth for them when they don’t yet have the capacity nor the cognitive desire to delve into something like this?

Red Miata

Last night I had a dream in which I took my car, which happened to be a red Mazda Miata, to the drive-through car wash. But instead of sitting in the car, you followed it through the was, and it was like a river you had to wade through. When my car was out of the drive-through, it had a flat tire, was covered in dried mud, and the convertible soft-top was caved in. I immediately complained to the manager and he said he’d take care of it. Right before I woke up from the dream, my Miata was strung up vertically like a gamefish, and workers were busily cleaning and waxing it.
