Plate Carriers Are Now Memes
Plate carriers are now memes. Devoid of all meaning and practicality, they have become nothing more than a symbol. A symbol of what, though? Protection? Rarely. Most often in the modern world, we see them being ill-fitting, worn incorrectly, of low quality, and often with foam plates or no plates at all (anyone who has had to wear one or fit someone for a plate carrier can tell)—and being worn in contexts that rarely serve their intended purpose. They are more often than not used as an intimidation tactic by those who can no longer own firearms.

Nightmare at the Private Apartment: When my own... appeared in the door
Ema – known as Mia at the apartment – followed these rules with absolute precision. Every Friday afternoon she took a train from Prague, got off in Pardubice, and turned into someone else in a rented apartment near the station. Black bob wig, red lipstick, tight corsets. She was doing this for less than a year. The reason was banal and terribly ordinary. Huge debts from the failed business of her boyfriend David, because of which the baliffs were breathing down their necks and making their life a hell. David knew nothing. He thought Ema goes for weekend shifts as a supervisor in a logistics center.

Patterns of Behavior
On March 8, 2025, I drove my son to youth group. The previous week, warm temperatures had melted the stubborn ice from the group leader's sloping yard, but two days before the youth gathered, unexpected snow fell again. The subsequent hard freeze made the leader's driveway and dooryard a glacial nightmare again, and when my son and I arrived, I told him to go in without me. I planned to take my time walking in.

Men who fulfill
Dad was born in Maine in January 1933. He was the second child and son born to his parents, though his older brother died at a very young age. A sister and another brother were born in subsequent years, and they were raised together by God-fearing parents in southern Maine. Grandpa was a carpenter. Dad learned many skills from him. Gram taught briefly. She was frugal, but not cheap. During the Great Depression and World War II years when sugar, eggs, and other staples were rationed, Gram celebrated her children's half-birthdays as an excuse to bake cakes for them, since sweets were rare luxuries. Dad fondly remembered his mother's justification for that tradition.
