Plenty of unfigureoutable things are fun - and
allowed - to kick around.

I prefer to try to keep more on suject, if possible.

To take a pass, as it were.

Steve would drop me off but I could walk home. Still using the cane

Soon you'll be twirling it like a baton.

Not for a while yet, it's a slow process. I'm thinking the cane will be
kept handy for at least a couple more months, if nothing else, for
stability.

And peace of mind.

In a parallel conversation not long ago, someone
told me of a $30 scratch ticket sold in vending
machines at supermarkets.

I'd walk right past it.

Many people seem to have the urge, though, to the
degree that they will connect with the underworld
rather than give up on it. So though there's nothing
good in the business, it appears that a state-run
lottery is less bad than a crime syndicate-run one.

Most of them say that the money goes for education but I'm not convinced
of that.

It educates the purchaser at least. Problem is
that some are uneducable, not necessarily through
stupidity, but rather by compulsion.

He's still recognisable but I don't know if he gets stupid

It would stand to reason. People like to imagine
they're more expert than they are and challenge those
who actually know stuff. I did describe here my

They'd do it to him maybe, but not everybody is as recogniseable.

It sounds as if one should aspire to be second best.

He's best in number of games won, second best in total amount of money
won on game shows.

Okay, aspire to third best.

amusement at watching the national budget mansplained
by a friendly but pompous drunken guy to my buddy the
Dodger, who has taught economics for 40 years.

I do remember you writing about that.

I've had some pretty entertaining times with him and
his buddies.

I can well imagine.

lifting & carrying the basket. I'm also doing more of the loading & unloading of the dishwasher.

Great. any little bit of exercise has to help.

Trying to do some more every day. Walked around Aldi (using a buggy for stability) a bit today but grabbed the ride 'em cart at Publix.

Just so you're aware of when you're in danger
of overdoing it. Though the occasional push
against the limits is to be encouraged.

Equality doesn't mean sameness. That's a
lesson society is just beginning to learn.

True, complimentarism is different from egalitarianism.

I don't fully believe in either complementarianism
or a strict construction egalitarianism.

Each has its own set of followers.

There was some bratty kid at the baseball park the
other day expounding (if a 10-year-old can be said to
do so) on how ice cream was a summer food. I refrained
from noting that some of the biggest consumers of that
treat are the Northeastern states, and some of the
most profitable months are in the winter.

He was having fun with it--not a time to deflate his sense of self importance. Just enjoy his spiel for what it was worth.

I disagree; instilling respect for the truth is
more important than inflating self-importance.
My noninterference was rather in deference to
the division of labor - the parents should do
almost all of it. But there's a story to be
told regarding that at a baseball game recently.
To come in a few days.
