So I ended up getting a gift from my dad. It is some kind of gadget to track the lunar cycles for fishing.

The problems:

-He knows I am a minimalist. Why did he get me something I don't need?
-He ought to know I do not fish with gadgets; I fish only with "native intelligence." So why would he give me this gadget?
-He also ought to know I profoundly dislike gadgets -- especially electronic ones. So again -- why?


I sort of oscillate between being annoyed that he would get me something I do not like or want and feeling like an ingrate and feeling like I am a stranger to my father (and vice versa).


The thing that bothers me is that now I have to figure a way for this thing to exit my life.
