Wish I was taping...

Sometimes I wish there was a VCR hooked up to my eyes... So many good pictures that a camera would never have the time to take.   Like yesterday, when within 10 minutes a little girl on a glass elevator with her mom and sister was looking lost while fogging the glass underneath her nose in the shape of an almond; when, just outside, a square faced kid was very happy to be in her mom's 'backpack' carrier bouncing up and down as if he was horseback riding; and when a novice driver was looking intense with her pointy tongue sticking out of her mouth right after backing up too fast and slamming on the brakes when trying to get a big sedan with 2 wheels on the sidewalk out of a parking stall.   Well, fortunately at least we have photographic memory.

No thirteenth floor, sorry

Isn't this close to the stupidest thing ever?

The first 5 minutes of the day

I wrote about this before.   I think when I wake up in the morning I am temporarily slightly smarter.   I am able to connect things that didn't appear related, I am able to realize that there is a problem with something that I'm doing, I am able to find a solution.

However, when I try to implement the idea, I usually realize that it can't be used as is, things are more complicated and wouldn't actually work.

This brings me to the conclusion that the first 5 minutes of the day I am able to think without too many preconceptions, go back to the source of the problem, find the 'ideal solution.'   Then of course the ideal solution has to deal with the complexity of reality, but it still helps.
