Please refer questions to my assistant
I’ve decided to cease answering questions about “what is new” after my trips in the car. From now on, refer any questions to my canine assistant: he loves to watch out the windows.
This morning, I unloaded the lumber from the car (before going off to a meeting). This is subjective, but I believe it took longer to unload than it did to load. Does that make sense?
On TV, one of those Suzuki documentaries on subliminal activity in our brains. Of course we have stuff “going on”. It’s just that we’re too busy thinking to take notice.
Received an interesting question about the vessel that some of my ancestors used (and abused) in getting here. They wrecked it, for pity’s sake! No, seriously! Anyhow, I found a shipping report that gave the size… in tons. Which, as it turns out has nothing to do with the weight of a ship and everything to do with displacement. On a different site, devoted to pirates, I came across a relative comparison of ship types. They probably shoaled their brig, rather than a luxury cruise ship. Other times, etc. Since there are no remains of the ship (or my ancestors, probably), I’m going to take this as proof enough. One more thing to check off my personal research list. Now on to more pressing issues.
We know many things. Alas, the reason why a four-leaf clover has four sections remains a puzzle. A conundrum. Proof that there are still scientists with way too much time on their hands.
