Not far from the mark

(h/t WoFat)

WoFat saw the video, considered that it might be an ode to my existence. However he missed the boat a little because as a grandpa, the principle offspring have moved on... That being said, he's not far from the mark.

LL said...: Darlin' -- I have never worn socks with sandals.

Old men in New York and New Jersey do that, and the socks are inevitably black.

It is NEVER cold enough here to need socks - with shoes or with sandals. I do wear them with shoes but not because it's cold, only as a measure of padding.; August 16, 2010 at 3:45 PM
darlin said...: Right on LL, that would have totally shattered the "tough guy" image I have dancing in my head of you. Real men don't need socks period, well okay maybe for padding in shoes... just an opinion.; August 16, 2010 at 4:03 PM

Welcome to the Machine!

This blog has many elements and depending on your interests, may pique your imagination...or not. I urge you to be unreasonable. Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. The unreasonable persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves, therefore all progress depends on unreasonable people. The more unreasonable you are, the more likely you are to enjoy this blog. All men dream, but not equally.

If you're a socialist or a Marxist, you'll find that I poke fun at your absurd notions of "good government" on a regular basis. So you might not wish to follow this blog because you'll be offended.

John Locke said, "One unerring mark of the love of truth is not entertaining any proposition with greater assurance than the proofs it is built upon will warrant." I like what Locke said. We can't theorize without adequate information because when we do we inevitably twist facts to suit theories rather than theories to suit facts. In this blog and in my life, I try to maintain this perspective.

Either you believe in our essential spark of shared divinity, or you succumb to our human insecurity. Either way your conscience lets you slice it, the main thing is to earnestly do what is right at the time.

This is My Journey.
