   Where exactly in the U.S. Constitution is federal funding for school lunches, health care, etc. authorized? Where in Article I, Section 8?

   I wasn’t aware that “Social Security” and Medicare were actually explosive devices instead of bloated, deficit-raising, legalized vote-buying scams, but whatever.

NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

1. Had a brief chance encounter with Maggie Shepard (of the LP Mises Caucus, FLPNM, etc.) on the sales floor of the store today.
2. Picked up a #1 seafood boil combo (1 lb crawfish, 1 lb shrimp, 1/2 lb sausage, 2 x red potatoes, 2 x corn on the cob (~ 1/3 of an ear each) for a late dinner at the Cottonwood Storming Crab [10041 Coors NW in Albuquerque] — ∅33.39 was the bill^[1].

   Everything was delicious, and they give you enough for two meals. Still, getting the meat out of the crawfish was a pain (no crawfish next time!), it was a bit pricey (∅33.39 for the package, and they give it to you in a plastic bag — no styrofoam to-go boxes — almost like you’re taking out the trash.

3. I walked 29,483 steps today.
