• A modest proposal: What’s good for drug boats, even better for freeway chases!

  07-12-2025 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  The hand-wringers and pearl-clutchers are in full meltdown because on September 2nd, Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, ordered the United States Navy to attack an alleged drug smuggling boat off the coast of Venezuela. Two survivors clinging to the gunwales of their sinking skiff were blown to pieces by a second missile, despite Article 118 of the Unified Code of Military Justice specifically prohibiting “firing upon the shipwrecked,” likening it to “murder.”

• Senior Moments: When the need to let go comes full circle

  07-12-2025 15:58 via ocregister.com
  
  On the day that my daughter got her driver’s license at age 16, she asked me if she could take the car out for a spin on her own.
  “Of course,” I said, as we sat parked in front of our house. “I’m really proud of you for getting your license on the first try.”
  It was strange to be in the passenger seat for the first time with my daughter driving. I reached across and patted her hand, which was ready and waiting on the steering wheel. Then I just sat there.

• How to find yourself under the mess of proscrastination

  07-12-2025 14:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Most of us don’t set out to make a mess of things.
  Life gets full, days get crowded and we tell ourselves we’ll deal with that one small thing tomorrow. If we’re honest, most messes don’t begin with big decisions — they begin with the tiny avoidances we think won’t matter.
  But they do. They always do.
  And when the mess finally becomes visible, many people interpret it as failure.
