Finally closing the doors on its last remaining outlet after getting rid of an unwieldy stockpile of variety goods, the discount retailer Big Lots ceased operations Wednesday following a therapy program in which the company’s roughly 30,000 employees confronted their self-destructive hoarding tendencies.

Book Review: Edge of Honor 📚
July 29,2025My reading is off to a super slow start this year, and we’re already at the end of July. Brad Thor’s latest installment was released at the start of this month and I devoured it over three days. Hopefully this gets momentum behind me to get back into a habit of reading.
These reviews are hard to write. It was a Scot Harvath book. A quick, easy read with a storyline that was entertaining and maybe a little too close to the truth for comfort.
Looking forward to writing another one of these next summer, although the character is aging quickly and might be reaching the end of the line.

Trump Administration Weighs Charging Patent Holders New Fee to Raise Revenue - WSJ
Commerce Department officials are discussing charging patent holders 1% to 5% of their overall patent value, a shift that could dramatically increase fees, according to people familiar with the matter.
Patents are already expensive; there’s the filing fee but the attorney fees to get you through the complex process is through the roof.
Now the government is going to guess the future economic value of a novel invention?
This is stupid.
And the fees wouldn’t go to the debt as advertised; it just becomes a new slush fund.

The Tactical Triage is one of my all-time favorites. It is a no-nonsense design with the added capability of a retractable rescue hook built into the frame. The weight, grip, everything is dialed in and just feels right.
