How Can Oats, Which Don’t Contain Gluten, Be Labeled ‘Gluten Free’?

Oats, water, even sneakers may be advertised as “gluten-free.”

Gluten is the protein in grain.  Some grains do not have it.
Gluten makes dough elastic and less sticky.
Celiac disease is an allergy to gluten.

Gluten has been a major component of the human diet since the invention of agriculture.

It is a fashionable problem.
I expect it is confused with anorexia and bolemia.

Beating Those Wireless Printer Woes

If you can’t get your printer on the network, you may be able to get assistance without waiting for a human to come to the phone.

Books

The Amazing Life of a Robber Baron’s Daughter-in-Law, With Caveats

Susan Ronald’s “A Dangerous Woman” is an energetic biography of Florence Gould and a terrific window into the life of the superaffluent.

The existence of such people does not please me.
Life may have no inherent meaning.
Progress is of civilization. 
Progress is in the direction of physical comfort for the whole.
