Hello again SkepsisNation, and welcome to another installment of Cheap Thoughts, grumpy sofa-based scribbles from a 19th Century Refugee, noticer and analyst.

I’m glad you still find My 2¢ helpful.

Just like this coin, my market value, due to my age and rarity, is much greater than my melt value!

Welcome to today’s installment of Throwback Thursday, wherein we revisit CT #2, my initial autobiographical post: “I Am A 19th Century Refugee” (originally appended with “Part 1” — but I never saw a need for a part 2).

If you are a new subscriber to Cheap Thoughts and have been wondering who the heck writes this junk, read on:

From the post:

Discovery and awareness of this fact has gifted me a unique perspective on current 21st century events, in that my 19th Century role models were not contaminated by obsessive popular culture. To them, entertainment was just a distraction — a diversion — from day-to-day IRL difficulties.

My parents’ lives were a living testament to a time gone by, yet they lived their lives as if they were still in those times. And therefore so was I.

The observations of my childhood are of the end of a cycle.

It has taken me a lifetime to appreciate all this. I’m having fun sharing it.
