A hand-drawn, black-and-white illustration of the words “NO PARKING” shown in large, bold, block letters. Each letter is outlined in dark pencil with a soft yellow shading inside, giving the text a slightly three-dimensional look.

No parking

My boomer take on lawless parking. And why I shouldn’t have an opinion at all. All in one 874-word rant on The Davis Daily.

This is a hand-drawn black-and-white illustration of a classic grandfather clock. The clock has a tall, elegant wooden frame with decorative molding at the top, featuring a curved, ornate design. The clock face is round with Roman numerals marking the hours and two hands indicating the time. It’s six after ten. The minute and hour hands are simple but bold, making them easy to read. Below the clock face, a glass-paneled compartment reveals the pendulum, which is a large, round disc hanging from a thin rod, along with two weights suspended by chains. The base of the clock is slightly wider for stability, with subtle detailing along its edges.

About mortality, regret, and the urgency of living fully. Read 632 words on The Davis Daily.

A black and white hand-drawn sketch of a rugged work boot. The boot features a thick, treaded sole for durability and traction. The upper part of the boot includes detailed stitching and metal eyelets, which the laces are threaded through. The boot's collar is padded for added comfort, and there is a small loop at the back of the collar, likely used for pulling the boot on. The drawing is minimalistic but captures the characteristics of a heavy-duty work boot, symbolizing toughness and practicality.

A no bullshit approach to living and working

The Blue-Collar Method™ is a practical philosophy on life, work, and living well. Summed up in 645 words on The Davis Daily.

An hourglass shows the sands of time running out. Only a quarter of the sand remains within the top section of the hourglass. Three-quarters of the sand has piled up within the bottom section. The sand piles are shaped like teardrops. Mirroring each other and connected by a thin line of sand, like hands of death and life reaching for each other. The hourglass is held upright within a container. The top of the container is a layer of four flat bases, each one smaller in diameter than the other, creating a step-like platform. The bottom of the container is the same construction and shape as the top. The sides of the container are two pillars. Ornate in design but misshapen, as if reflecting life’s imperfections.

A monstrous tidal wave curls over a turbulent sea. The wave’s tip is like a hand reaching forward. The water below is helpless against the unstoppable surge. Some call it fate.
