Fringeville #167: Here’s A Motto For Ya...

There is only one species of human. We come in a grab bag of sizes, colors and shapes but there is only just us.

Just us.

We can continue on the way we are or we can be good to each other. Let's choose to be good to each other. It all starts there. If that seems overly simplistic, just try it for a couple of days.

It is requiring less and less effort to avoid piping in on political stuff. It is also becoming more and more apparent to me that drastically reducing my presence on social media has been very, very good for me.

On a sort of similar note, back in 2010 I had the opportunity to meet Karen Feather, the one-time Chief of Staff for Congressman Paul Kanjorski. Somehow our brief conversation drifted to social media. She told me that she didn’t use it and had no plans to. I can’t recall the exact conversation (I am an old fart and have trouble these days remembering where I took my shoes off) but the thrust was that it was a platform that was potentially dangerous for folks in politics. Damned smart woman.

On my computer, I used to save my Fringeville posts by date and post number before copying the contents to the blog.

These days I save them by post number only. It’s a self-motivating technique, because when I look at the list of old posts, I don’t feel intimated by the gaps of time between them.

Yes, there is some self-deception here …I could simply move my eyes to the file’s date fields …but I am a master of self-deception.

By the way, here is my favorite health food (protein, veggies-n-dairy* all in one):

Yesterday was National Taco Day. We did Taco Bell. I really don’t want to know the specifics of what is in the damned things, but I went to bed full and my backside played the trumpet most of the night.

I am deeply, deeply hopeful this gorgeous weather holds until April. (It’s that self-deception thing again.)

* * *

Be good to each other.
