Flakes: Bad Ideas Are Everywhere

A couple of the articles I found for the last section really got me thinking about bad ideas.

Everyone has them.

Most of us are smart enough to put them away and forget them. Unless alcohol is involved, then bad ideas never seem quite as bad.

My bad ideas (at least ones that didn’t involve alcohol)? Installing cheap tile on my kitchen floor is right up there. There are about a half dozen cracked tiles and the floor needs to be replaced. The choice of installer was pretty bad too (me).

Well, reading today’s Flakes counts as a good idea on your part. I hope you enjoy today’s serving.
