I was starting to think I wasn't going to get around to posting something this month, which would have been sad since my goal is one post a month.
But I made it, and here is a link to the new Medium article. It's about waterbeds. I could say I don't know why, but I was watching Licorice Pizza and couldn't stop wondering why these relics of the 1980s were ever a thing. Learned a few tidbits in the process.
