I have two personal maxims that generally apply to all situations in my life:
Life's too short to live by them rules. What the fuck else am I doing with my time?

Old tile shards from our house
This is a little "home archeology." Our relatively young home was built in 1949 and under the large kitchen add-on we have, there's (at least) two structures: an old porch that was left there stupidly as a support beam and the remnants of an early kitchen floor - two or three levels of it! This tile is from one of those kitchen floor layers.
When we redid the support under our kitchen we found pieces of this tile.
