You Oughta Know
Here are little quandaries that came to me on the way in to work that I’d like some answers to. Can anyone please explain to me:
1. Why people run for exercise in the Loop? Or any downtown location, for that matter? It seems not fun, relaxing, or productive.
2. How and why do certain operators of jackhammers do so without any protective ear covering? Is there no fear of permanent hearing loss?
3. Why, when you are in absolutely no hurry, does the Red Line run ahead of schedule?
4. What is the preoccupation that many people have to hold conversations in the middle of doorways? When you stop to think about it, roughly 5/8 of the world is a non-doorway space. One step to the right is all it takes…
5. Does anyone know the location of my black shoes? I’ve been looking for them for days.
The list will probably grow as the day goes on.
1:35pm–More quandaries…
6. Is it or is it not a good idea to “become a fan” of God on Facebook? It seems like I’m tempting fate either way.
7. Will American men on Vespas (either driving or enjoying life as a secondary passenger) ever become socially acceptable? I just saw a guy wearing a suit driving a mint green Vespa and I had to stifle outright laughter.
7b. Am I one of the people holding back social innovation by my general intolerance?
7c. Should this question, in technical outline format be 7b or 7c? I never know where to start the numbering.
Undoubtedly more to come.

Can’t help with any answers, but I wanted to say the tent is looking good. I like the colors and of course the labor of love header photo.

Well thank you for the kind words. You have no idea about that header photo…but it’s the one that started this whole thing, so it seemed only right…
