Ramble On: Summer 2025 Edition
Playlist Link: Ramble On Summer 2025 Edition 1. Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back. 2. So…the little Coco food delivery robots…do we (as drivers) have to stop at a stop sign and wait for them to cross as if it were a human being? If they are just sitting there deliberating, or whatever their little robot brains do…how long do we wait? What is the protocol here? 3. Despairingly romantic. 4. Perhaps a nap, then by the time I’ve awoken something else would have happened. Perhaps a shower, then there will be other news. 5. By saving certain species, even keystone ones, are we impeding the natural growth/progress of the planet?

But imagining this scene happening on a frozen lake might lend more to the idea of staying down. After all, getting up might risk breaking through the ice.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely warm here today.
