Tuesday

Just two thoughts for the day. But both could become Seinfeld episodes.

The first. Circadian rhythms. USA Today had an article in the Life section today about this topic. There was a symposium in New York last week, attended by "several hundred" researchers to discuss, "Clocks and Rhythms." Checkout Wikipedia. The body clock. Sun light. Temperature. How about gravity? Barometric pressure. Proximity to a final exam. Nearness of a wedding date.

Jerry and the gang could go on for hours.

The second. Surviving the day. I wasn't going to put this on the blog, but it is just too relevant to ignore. Mother Duck and 10-12 hatchlings. Waddling along the outside tables this AM at the Duck Creek SB's. Mother Duck electing to cross the four lanes of Middle Road. At 7:30. Almost making it. Girl on the phone. Late for work. Didn't even slow down. Five small survivors. Wandering the parking lot at the Holiday Inn.

Stupid me for not acting on my instinct to get out there and stop traffic.

On the other hand. Look on the roads and streets everyday. The only difference here is that we were eye witnesses. I wonder at what point in the development of the automobile that roadkill became a new form of unnatural selection?

We do need to live each day. And it helps to be a little lucky. So those of you who are reading this, regardless of what you might think, you have been a little lucky today.

I'm off to rinse Margret off. She's had a day of exercise.

Be careful out there.
