Some of his views on being a new parent are the funniest part of his story although there are plenty of other quotable ones.

Having a baby looks like a wet Saint Bernard trying to come in through a cat door.…
I learned a lot about babies pretty quickly. For instance, babies are nauseated by the smell of a clean shirt. You put on something freshly laundered and they’re gonna spit up just like that. My wardrobe looked like we had condors living in our yard. If you play with babies too hard they’ll spew like a can of beer. I used to shake up my daughter, then hand her to people I didn’t like. “Hold her just a minute, would ya?”…
Babies have taught me a few things about moms, too. Moms will clean up anything. I read recently in Scientific American that a mother’s spit duplicates the exact chemical composition of Formula 409. It can get rust off a car bumper.

Today was the last shopping day while here at this camp. Went to Walmart again and the had breakfast at Johnny B’s just like last week. Stopped to fill Desperado’s tank with some expensive gas, the most I have paid since 2 May 2022, which should get me to my summer camp where the gas will be even more expensive. I’m guessing it will be over $5 and if Gulf War III continues it could be more than I want to guess.
