Shtuff

Okay, so every computer I’ve ever owned has maintained a folder called “Shafer Crap.” This folder has always contained interesting things, you know, like that one drawer you have in your kitchen or office where you might find batteries, lip balm, one soy sauce packet, and a bolt that you found on the floor but can’t throw out because you know its nut is somewhere waiting for it. This section is like that drawer, a catch-all of sorts — in other words, it catches crap that doesn’t fall into the other categories.  It’s not that I’m diminishing these writings and observations.  They just don’t fit anywhere else.  Perhaps “crap” is too strong a word — or maybe even the wrong word.  To some of you, these might be very important.  So that settles it.  “Shtuff” (contracted from Shafer + Stuff) is dedicated to valuable and insightful fecal matter.  Yeah, that’s better.
