This morning I heard on the battery powered radio...

The plane of the day is an Aeronca Champ from the late 40's. And how about that bright yellow!
A new ant trail has begun crossing the sidewalk in a different location. There is no trace left of the old ant trail. Time marches on.
This morning I heard on the battery powered radio a commercial by a candidate for sheriff bragging about the number of citizens sent to jail during his administration in a bid for re-election. I wonder if we all wouldn't be better off if the metric was the number of students graduating from high school or college. Or maybe the number of small businesses started. How positive a thought!
Then my mind wandered to the thread that led my interest from science to network theory. Think about it. My interest in quantum mechanics led directly to interest in String Theory. Trying to understand String Theory led to Matrix Theory which directed my interest to game theory which pushed me to Network Theory. How arcane can I get? I don't really understand String Theory yet. Sometimes it seems like there's too much in the world to learn.
Things I don't understand lead me to the conclusion that we're all on this flight together.
