Do you ever think?

Do you ever wonder...

... what people with the last name "Samsonite" put on their luggage?

... what it is about people that makes them skip the first few slices of bread while moving to the coveted middle section - leaving the heel and less-desirable slices for their family and loved ones?

... why they call Doritos "nacho cheese" flavor? I know of NO nachos that taste that way...

... about light? You can't actually see light, only it's source and the reflection/refraction of it as it bounces off surfaces...

... and speaking of light, if you could go faster than the speed of light and had a really powerful telescope would you see everything going backwards? Or would you see anything at all? Does light follow a Doppler-effect? Is there a sonic boom for light?

... when I get to make my own worlds, I totally am going to make one with dinosaurs - just to watch them fight. Also, I think that it will really mess with people's heads when they try to figure out where they came from and why they're here...

... some one's going to have to explain to me why mosquitoes were in the plan. Why do we need them anyway? I mean, I don't like spiders or maggots, but I can at least logically understand their purpose. Mosquitoes? No.

... why our fingers are fairly proportional in size, with the thumb shorter, while toes are all small with one exception? I'm just saying...

... if two wrongs don't make a right, do three rights equal a left?

... why do people get paid so much to sell common sense? Wait, never mind...

... where in the world IS Carmen San Diego?

... are we there yet? Have the wheels stopped and every one's getting out? No? Well, then...

You just blew away all my hopes that idiocy is not genetic.

You sound way too much like me

Mosquitoes spread disease. The end.

Did you copy this one too?

As for the world's thing..I've already decided on what I'm going to do with that.
Mermaid world!!!

My friend Daisy sitting next to me says she would have her own dance club world.

Forrest, of course would like a gun world, with varying types and magnitudes of artillery. [I think James Morton would like this as well].....

Maybe a chocolate world.

But thinking about it, Heavenly Father has pretty much got it down pat, I really wouldn't want a world without trials, no matter how hard...perfection [although I know my mindset will change after I die...], perfection is borrring!

Anisha - I only put MY stuff on my blog... Everything you get is all me, all the time.

And boring is right. Perfection? Who needs it?!? I'm having more fun being not perfect and trying to get there...
BTW, regarding your question about faster than light trave, one of my favorite poems is:

There was a young woman named Bright,
who traveled much faster than light
she set off one day
and in a relative way
returned on the preceeding night.

Apparently there are lots of smart people with WAY too much time on their hands

Christ by highest heaven adored, Christ the everlasting Lord!

The purpose of the Book of Mormon is to testify of Christ and bring souls to Him. Who can deny this who have read the book and pondered it's sacred import? My life has been blessed and I have come to know Christ through reading this holy book. I know that Christ lives and loves us. I know He is our Savior and Redeemer. I know that through His merits alone we are saved from an eternity of misery and woe. I know that He died for us. I know He lives for us, advocating our cause before the throne of the Almighty. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He is the Master, the Son of God, the great Jehovah. Blessed and praised be His Holy Name forever and ever! To Him be all glory, honor, and majesty to an eternal day! It is the atonement of Christ - His suffering and subsequent victory - that makes all of this possible. His grace is sufficient for all after all we can do. And make no mistake - we must do all in our power. But through Him and by Him we can and will overcome. I love H

2020 - A retrospective

 There will no doubt be many retrospectives written about the year that was 2020. It was a tough year for most, a good year for many, and generally speaking a very interesting year. Which reminds me of the the old curse - may you live in interesting times. Because, you see - interesting does not always mean good. It does not mean better. It does not mean happy. It just means interesting. So to highlight just how interesting things were, I offer the following post about things that went on. Or didn’t went on. It’s not intended to be chronological, necessarily, or even accurate. It’s just some of my observations.... Let’s start with the pandemic. Pandemic is a word that was previously the realm of science fiction and/or horror writers (The Stand comes to mind). Late 2019 a disease was identified in Wuhan, China, which is a place I’d never heard of before. Apparently coming from some kind of exotic meat market, this strain of Coronavirus was something that the world hadn’t seen before. Ma

Is this thing still on?

 Does anyone even blog anymore? I remember when it first got started and everyone was having a blog. I like writing, and I do a lot of it in my professional life, but not everything makes it onto this blog, which is where a lot of my personal thoughts come out. I put more into Facebook lately, too, because it's a little easier. But there's something to be said for this long-form writing exercise, and I think I will continue here periodically. You don't mind, do you? Well, in my last post I wrote about how difficult things were for me at the time. That changed in July when I finally got a job working for the State of Utah. I was the program manager for the moderate income housing database program, and that meant I worked from home a lot but also went in to Salt Lake when needed, mostly on the train. It was a good experience, for the most part, and I'm grateful for the things I learned even in the short time I was there.  In October I started working for Weber County in t
