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? These species are only vital to the world as we know it…but does that make saving them the right answer? Is the world always supposed to stay as we know it now? Oh just kidding.

 Hell froze over that day.  The last laps of a fading flame,  blue light licking up the walls,  ready to consume -- Snuffed out.  A single curl of smoke pumped out in a thin line,  writhing and gasping,  dancing and twisting --  Rising only to be  gone.
