Double halogen with LED magnesium flare ipsidium boosters.

Just what we always wanted!

Waking up on our fourth birthday we hoped and giggled the big package wrapped in toy train candy colors would be the DH-LED-MagFlare-Ipsidiums.

Forty years later they arrived, for Christmas. A glittering prize of a gift.

The turkey was good that year as well.

And, I met my aunt from Zanzibar and my uncle from Santo Principe – they also gave me thrilling presents.

Of course there were times, more frequent as I grew older, where the people seemed so much more valuable than the latest gadget. Some of the times!

A white car, an umbrella and a cup cake.

Vying for attention.

A matter of sincere invention.

The creative brain is hard to restrain.

But why tie it down?

Suddenly no-one would frown.

They all walked the many hundreds of steps to town.

Not so strange.

Strangely, yes.

Does a visit to a country with a social civilization and culture that makes sense, change behaviors when we’re “back home”?

Yes.

If that’s so, it suggests a change of location is in order.

Move to the better bustle if you can.

I think “membership” should confer treats, privilege, something preferential.

But $300 for a parking lot’s annual VIP card?

Not a carrot for me!

It’s not the money (!), it’s a sense of value.

Values – remember them!

Enjoying summer sun in winter.

All the labels on all the cans faced forward like well-disciplined soldiers on inspection.

Such is the way at supermarkets.

What if they had just one at the top with the front of the label facing outward and left the rest to be any which way and stacked Oh So Much More Quickly?

Would that appeal to customers as a sort of “just the facts” or “what really matters” policy?

Just can’t help thinking of the time it takes to rotate every single can, I remember, I did that job once…just for a day!
