Is It Really A World Record?

Image
  This is about the Olympic records that depend on speed.  Cheers, tears, and celebrations when someone beats the world record by a few hundredths of a second.  This is so minuscule as to be nonexistent.  We have all tried to count to ten within one second.  A speedy slur, but doable.   Now, count to one hundred in one second.   Nope.  Without specialized machines and ultra fast timepieces, no one would know. Technically, the person was faster, but does it really count?  If you wash and wax your car before heading out on the highway, you will get better gas mileage.  But, it is so infinitesimal, it would take decades to notice.  Same with these Olympic records.   Are these really records breakers?  Should people take pride in winning something that needs high tech to show it?    Should tenths of a second be the limit for these records?  Are these new world records really worthy of the title?

Toys

  Toys.  Did you have a favourite?  Did you take good care of your toys, or did you see how much punishment they could take?  Do you still have any of your old toys?  Have some new ones?  Bunny loved his Matchbox cars and Erector Set. J. P. Bunny

I went to work today

Image
 And so.....? As you all know by now, I am a school crossing guard, and this being a Monday, I got up this morning, got dressed for work, and went to my assigned spot, and stood there like a fool. You see, here in Canada, today is a thing called Family Day, a holiday. People don't go to work. Most of 'em anyways don't. Especially kids don't go to school. How long before I figured it out? Where I cross, I am next to the school parking lot. No cars. No teachers showing up. No kids being dropped off. THEN it hit me. Sheesh!!!

  Heartfelt Dreamer As an Emotional Thinker, your heart guides your choices, leading you to seek deep connections with others. You embrace vulnerability and are fearless in your pursuit of joy and imagination. Trust and forgiveness come easily to you, making life a beautiful adventure. Found this out by doing this quiz......... https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=what-kind-of-thinker-are-you Of course one can answer a quiz in a way that makes you look good or answer it honestly but then the answer still isn't you. I mean, me - a heartfelt dreamer? - seriously? Well, maybe I am. That is for others to decide. I am a dreamer though, so at least the outcome of that quiz was 50% right. What about YOU? Care to give it a try?

DOGGIES!!

Image
  A SciAm article discusses the personalities of doggies. Unfortunately, I can't find all the data for all the the breeds. All the article shows is doggies grouped by small, medium and big sizes. 👎🏻  But here's some nice images with the personality data summarized.  Compared with larger dogs, smaller ones tended to score higher for fear, aggression and excitability and lower for trainability. Cute little doggies    Hm, wait a minnit. That last one might not be a doggie. Sort of looks like a woof.

Hating The Art Because Of The Artist

Image
  You have a nice little painting in the hall.  It is of some European town.  Nothing great, but you enjoy it.  A friend comes by and tells you to toss it out.  The artist`s name, hidden by the frame, is A. Hitler.  Of course, you don’t like the guy, but the painting is something you like.   Should you feel guilty about liking the art, music, works, of some decidedly nasty people? J. P. Bunny
