Yes and no. But there must be something else.

A biscuit, called a “cookie” in America, could take the edge off.

We are not sure what the edge is that should be taken off.

Instead we’d rather be traveling to interesting, but not too interesting, places.

Possibilities may be opened up we think, by using “maybe” as a temporary crux.

Still being formulated, brewed and reveiwed.

Standing and sitting in a warm forest of advertising we never noticed.

How often are we persuaded or at least nudged into quick, subtle and soon-forgotten decisions…

These are not serious things. At least not exclusively.

Perhaps the brighter red or duller yellow paintwork choices on the new SuperPanther GTX hybrid SUV.

Yes, a car.

Or a guitar. Stratocaster – we go in determined to find one, and, we come out with the latest Bahuli.

Yes the tone is good but it’s not a ‘Strat’.

What made us change our mind, the subtlest of hints, not data, the low unbuttoned shirt on the salesman’s chest, the thigh on that women…both exposed to our influenceable decision-making front.

We can think of nothing special enough to say about this.

Neck-straining treetops and unfathomable trunks.

We could go swimming instead.

Or remain preoccupied with bed.

Read a book, build a sled.

Rumbling and stumbling to a distant whistle of wind trying to find its way around those tall…

Yes to all options, all colors and all sizes.

That’s the people selector at work.

A mountain spoke and an ant gave permisssion.

Two days ago a princess became a WalMart “greeter”.

Last week we sent a gift box of gift boxes to all presidents.

Next week we plan to travel in a glass-domed twenty horsepower water-powered dual-motor car.

Beyond that, we are delighted by the idea, the feel of, infinite possibilities.

We explore.
