In 1947, gold was $43 an oz. Today, it's $2700ish. $12.5 is ~$800 in today's $$. I wish people understood inflation.

15 tries, 20 hrs of writing, and 50 hr of thinking later, finished my synposis, ~600 words. All I did was watch a 10 min vid and wrote it in an hr. Punctuated equlibrium or quantization of life? #WritingCommmunity

Instead of #writing, I took most of the day improving this cheap (I got what I paid for made in Denmark) desk. Hope it will last until I can make a new one for my son. #woodworking
