Wednesday's Digressions

• My Asian Buddhist mentor has commented on our Presidential choices by saying, You can take your pick. It is your choice- you can either have a heart attack or get cancer...
• Recently  a politician caught some flak for not knowing where Allepo is and why it is important now. That is nearly unbelievable. Even a putz like me knows: it is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world (Shakespeare mentioned it in at least one play). It was the largest in Syria. Now IS controls half and the Syrian government control the other.
• Those facts are all I know but I know them and it is not my job to know anything about the place.
• The Resident Evil movies are really, really good.
• Recently I rewatched I Am Legend. It is way better than I thought I remembered it to be.
• At dinner recently because of a servers heavy accent I inadvertently replied to her and made part of my order in Spanish.
• A friend after visiting Mexico left her bags in a taxi losing all the souvenirs she brought back for us- except for the tiny leather cowboy hat with my name burned on the brim. We took that as a sign.
• A sign of what- we don't know.
• Friend always comes out as frined for me these days and these always comes out theses. God- yes even then it came out theses-all 3 times.
• It is all downhill from here folks.
• Recently I caught somebody watching pron at work.
• Ridiculous.
