A quick laugh

Two things I learned in the past week.

1. Never try and write a blog when you are half drunk. My sister made some lovely Margaritas while I was in San Diego, and after I finished my pitcher I decided to write a blog. You will notice that the incoherent dribble in my previous post was just that, incoherent. Now you know why.

2. When buy a wholesale lot of used good, inspect the lot first. In my case I won an on line auction for 3 pallets of ceramic supplies. After many trials and tribulations, I finally got them home; and what did I find when I did? 2 palletts worth of ceramic supplies and one whole pallet of buttons. Yes, buttons. A 4' by 4' pallet stacked roughly 4 feet high of nothing but buttons. By my reckoning it counts out to North of 450,000 buttons.

These things only happen to me...

If you ever loose a button, you know who to call.

As my plane took off and we rose above the clods it occured to me. God never intended for us to be here. Sure, he made the top side of the clouds look like mountains so that once we got there, we would be comfortable. However, it is not natural for us to see this. We have no wings and thus were not intended to see this view. This realization made me more uncomfrotable that the fact that you have to pay for snacks on the plane now.

As I watched the performance of my sisters latest acting endevour I had sereral realizations. The most major of which was how narrow my point of view is. Sure, my parents did the best job they could to broaden my horizons, and through personal experience I have broadened those horizons even further, but the processor inside my head still makes foolish assumptions based on incomplete information.

For instance, that men go with women and vice versa. Just tonight I found that assumption to be erroneous. The assumption that California is a laid back state. That flying is fun. Assumptions based on incomplete information. And we all know what assuming does...

Makes an ASS out of U and ME.

Let us all hold our assumptions and make informed opinions based on facts, shall we.
