    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Yeah but the timeless themes can be fit into any number of symbolic narratives. It’s not like Hemingway can forbid that or call it wrong.

      Education is extremely important.

            I find this fascinating. My favourite one is Euler's identity -

            I was only joking

                  That was quite interesting, even more than mildly. 🙂

                    They installed the fountains in Horace Pond. A short 11 months after we moved in.

                          Only 4 people have served in the House of Representatives, the Senate, Vice President, and President:

                          1. John Tyler
                          2. Andrew Johnson
                          3. Lyndon Baines Johnson
                          4. Richard Nixon

                            I forgot Nixon was a senator for a short time.

                              Kamala will probably end up with 3 of the 4.

                                What’s particularly interesting, now that I think of it, is Nixon and LBJ overlapped in the House AND the Senate, LBJ succeeded Nixon as VP and Nixon succeeded LBJ as president.

                                They basically did this at the same time.

                                  And JFK had 3 of the 4 jobs at about the same time.

                                  There was talk of JFK for VP in 1956, JFK's father supposedly made a cash offer to LBJ to have his son as LBJ's VP. That didn't work out.

                                  Then JFK wanted to be the VP on a 1956 ticket with Adlai Stevenson. Lucky for him that didn't happen either.

                                  So he came close to having all 4 jobs.
