Moisturizer Event!
...
...
I see that at Bath + Body Works, they are hosting a "Moisturizer Event".
Not only that, but it is a FALL Moisturizer Event,
so we can look forward to "events" like this on a regular basis!

I didn't realize that there is a tangible need for an EVENT this specific. And vapid.
In the absence of real change, I guess we are left with things like this....

I do look forward to a "Back Fat Event" though.

Relativism
colored words

colored words
Protagoras argued: since everyone's perceptions are equally true,
wisdom must be something other than making true judgements.
Certain opinions are wiser and better to hold than others, he said,
not because they are more true, but because they are more beneficial
to the lives of those who hold them....Ha!

Some things I noticed in the last 24 hours
...
An unassuming man, with short hair and glasses, tall, wearing a white dress shirt,
slacks and big furry slippers ordering a cup of water at Subway. He sat at a table
talking to himself for awhile and then poured the contents of his cup into his slippers,
taking care not to spill and making sure to get water into both the back AND the front
of the shoes. He then kind of mopped the floor by pushing his feet around, wetting the
floor with the water that was seeping out of the bottom of his slippers.

People avoided acknowledging the slippered man at Subway.

The slippered man left several wrapped candies at his table.

When I left, I heard an Arabic version of the song "Don't Let me be Misunderstood"
