Philosophical Friday

Have you ever just sat and watched a centipede crawl? I did this morning. I know, kind of weird, but by watching insects you can learn a lot about behavior. In fact, as humans we should watch not only insects, but all animals. We could improve the human race if we just followed their lead. In general, they treat one another much better than we do. I think that it comes down to one simple word – RESPECT.

Okay, enough said on that subject. However, if you are so inclined, read some books or articles by E.O. Wilson. He is the premier expert on the ‘sociobiology’ of animals.

While watching the centipede, it reminded me of a poem that I wrote decades ago. I posted it below, along with a recent landscape photo.

As I watched The Centipede crawl

It moved like rolling hills

Stress-slack, Stress-slack repeatedly

Walk in Nature’s beauty everyday!

Bloggers At Car Shows With Beer

Jerry Seinfeld had a really great show, “Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.” I enjoyed every episode. If you have never watched it, and enjoy cars and laughs, watch it – you won’t be disappointed.

I think that I qualify as a blogger now, I like cars, and beer. Why not do a post from a car show that I recently attended. I walked around the fairgrounds, drooling over cool cars, while drinking beer. Not too many better things than that in life as far as I am concerned.

I could have called the post, “Drooling Over Cars Drinking Beer,” but somehow it just doesn’t work. If I really drooled on one of those cars, I’d be thrown out of there so fast, I’d never get a chance to finish my beer. Plus, I am sure that I would require some rhinoplasty!

Here are a few pics from the show.

An indoor view of the show.

I like ’em low and slow. This is a 1959 El Camino.

1957 Chevy Nomad dash.

It’s the details that count!

Very nice old school roadster truck. It really needs a flathead motor though.

A 1932 Ford fender.

I hope you enjoyed the photo car show!
