My vaunted technology failed me this morning, and the video portion of this was lost to the bit bucket...

On Fridays I like to drive Ben to school. It's just an other chance for us to spend some time together and have breakfast as we drive in a less than typical high traffic time. It's also a chance for him to ask me questions that seem... well... typically Ben-esque.

"Dad, why isn't the Oklahoma Panhandle a part of Texas?" The answer, of course, is dripping with history, which I love, but Ben said I am "making way to complicated."

The thing is that he asks me these questions, and more often than not they start my mind down other avenues of thought. So how did I get from the Oklahoma Panhandle to the overturning of Roe?

Well... it's complicated...
