Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

Those who know me well know that I don’t subscribe to the lawn-mowing cult that is America. Even neighbors who *don’t* know me well know this about me. A friend had some visitors from southeast Asia who tried their level best to understand why Americans water their lawns and then cut them. Granted, it makes for a lush blanket of green, but we don’t dare walk on it! So when I came up with a parable for downtown that relates to mowing one’s lawn, how could I resist? It may be the first of two swipes at the downtown financing plan being put before voters. And the softer of the two.
