Something I never thought I would say…
That ukulele rocks!!
Some more 4th of July celebrations are rolling in (a week later)
Here are (and I didn’t count them) 3.2 million firecrackers.
Failure, Not Just for the Inner City.
It looks like failure has decided to move out of the poor parts of town and get a nice spot out in the suburbs. You know you’ve reached a trendy level when you have your own magazine and website.
Jeff and I have often discussed what it would take to make the world a better place. I say that the world needs to be made a little less stupid and evil. Jeff agrees with this proposition, but has a different solution than me. To make the world less stupid we can try to make people more intelligent or get rid of some of the dumb ones, which is probably quite a bit easier.
And so failure is moving out to the more affluent neighborhoods. Nothing teaches a little humility, and keeps you from breeding, like a hard shot to the groin during soccer. As long as people are playing that gentleman’s game of Texas Hold ‘em they aren’t off starting wars or pissing in the gene pool. I admit it is one of Jeff’s most subtle plans to eliminate the foolish, but it’s so unlikely it just might work. After all, million to one chances crop up nine times out of ten (thank you Terry Pratchett).
So remember, curtains are curtains, and nothing else is. Your municipal tax dollars at work.
