Perfect, not Flawless; Buy the ticket, take the ride, but not in an airplane - or helicopter; Reduced IQ?

Well, a tip of the blogger hat to Bob L. who correctly predicted that once I was off the road and not hanging around in airports wearing a set of noise-cancelling headphones the size of Pluto...
What Did you Say????

...my blogging would taper off.
That and feeling foolish for blathering on about complete shit.
Anyway, the blathering continues, below...


I've long thought the Universe is Perfect, but not flawless. One more data point:
Squirrels plant new trees, just by forgetting where they put their nuts acorns.
This is a very interesting idea. Maybe even a philosophy. It certainly helped a friend recently get through some tough stuff, and she now texts me with little emoji squirrels.
Not drawn to scale

 It could even be a Zen Koan.

Warning: Vicious Tangent ahead:

I've long thought that Zen Koans were invented by guys who mostly wanted to be left alone. They made some sort of "progress" or at least manifest - or said they manifested - traits that others found desirable.
Desirelessness is popular. How does one go about desiring desirelessness?
Or destruction of ego. How does one destroy one's ego? Who's manifesting the intention? The thing that is going to be destroyed in the process?

Anyway, so these guys have some thing others want and as people are wont to do, they come around bugging these guys who mostly just want to be left the F**k alone.
So, they invented Koans as a way to give the would-be disciples something to keep them busy.

Zen Master 1: Oh! I have a new one - how about this: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
Zen Master 2: Oh that's rich! Much better than last week's: "What was your face before you were born."

Anyway, I thought the squirrel bit a nice illustration of how it all works together perfectly.
Kinda like this:



I've never had much use for dogs, being a cat person, though this may change that. 
French beer company Kronenbourg 1664 is set to open a pop-up bar staffed entirely by German Shepherds in London on Friday. The dogs will deliver the company's beer for free in custom lightweight barrels to guests who reserve two-hour sessions

Pilots falling asleep on the job is far more common than you might expect. In one British Airline Pilots Association’s survey of 500 commercial pilots, 56 percent admitted to having fallen asleep on the flight deck. Twenty-nine percent had woken up to find the other pilot asleep. 

Apparently, there's more to helicopters than I thought:


Hmm, This may be an intelligence test...


Definitely.
helicopter (NSFW)
When you swing your penis around in a circle and make the noise of a helicopter.


I recently saw Hunter S. Thompson's daily cocaine diet regimen:
Well, There's your problem. All that fried food.


Care for S'more?


Just because you're a criminal, doesn't mean you have to settle for second best!

Current Favorite Blog observation, from a comedic site discussing why the band Hole (and its leader Courtney Love) is so underrated, the blogger states:
A friend of mine once saw her [Courtney Love] in concert, and one of the audience members yelled out for her to play "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Love told him to go fuck himself, and I've respected her ever since.

One of my favorite cartoonists Mr. Fish, has some new ones.


I like time travel stories and theory and such and may write more about it here in the future. I'm currently (stalled) writing a story-screenplay on time travel. 
TheOatmeal, per usual, nails it.


I wouldn't be surprised to find there is a correlation between wearing a baseball cap backwards and lower IQ. I think the metal tab presses on a critical section of the forehead and lowers blood flow to the brain:




Now, off to San Marcos County Recorder's office.
They have marriage licenses there...
Last line of the form states: 
No refunds are given for marriage licenses purchased in error.
We could only speculate as to what problem that is intended to resolve.
Still, all went well and we left with our new marriage license!


Have a good weekend, drive safe, and take care.
