Uncertainties, possibilities and wishful thinking and grated cheese.

Ignoring uncertainties is essential day to day unless you are Nassim Nicholas Taleb (see his books!). If you tried to figure out all the possibilites you would see some, many uncertainties.

Without confirmation, short of data, with a dream of things you want…wishful. We do it a lot.

Grated cheese combines uncertainty (what type of cheese it was before the great grate is sometimes a mystery); possibilities – it could taste good and be cheesy; we wish in a full way for it to do the job as it melts onto a poached egg landed atop some truly grainy whole-seeded bread.

Ok….we’re home!

Let’s recycle that before you buy it so you don’t have to.

The new system (cruelty).

Pre-recycled items.

How that would work is anyone’s guess and I think this sounds more like an April Fool’s joke.

But doesn’t so much around the place seem like it was instituted on April First!

There were sons and there were daughters.

They all knew.

All in the family, you know.

Was it good or bad?

We will know one day, years from now.

For now we will deal with them as best we can.

And, making it better, giving points on the plus side, some of them made us laugh.

Stay in your lane, but only when driving.

From pasta, to polite and truly friendly acknowledgements.

Life on this planet…in need of development and tutoring.

Keep at it, keep going.

Another work in progress!

All-in on dustbins.

Three.

Enough?

We will see.

How do we recycle the comments of our extreme youth and create the subtle impact we desire?

Not to reinvent the past.

Yet, to learn its almost-secret lessons.

And considering the dustbins again, what do we need to throw away?

We think listening to Funkadelic followed by Chopin might just provide all the answers.
