Eldon Sarte's Notebook

We just met Muhammad Ali’s lesser known younger brother, Bolling.

Just read this in a news item: “…a steamy waterworld that is larger than Earth but smaller than Uranus.” Why does that make me snicker? hehehe

Blood seems to wash off human skin and hair. So says me, Mr. Nosebleed. Looking for a new clothing material product idea? There you go.

In less than a year, I have packed, moved, unpacked, and now with a major home remodeling project, am packing again. All that “experience” has taught me that there are only two things that make the ordeal, although not more fun, at least more palatable and manageable:

• Get rid of all your junk.
• Quit acquiring more junk.

You think we’d learn.

My reply to Mike below:

Sorry, we all have the shits. “That’s the way the world is.” And although I’d like to say, “Just ignore the bad,” if you think about it, they help us truly appreciate the good. I guess the trick is just not to let the shits bother us.

It’s Not About VD!

I detect a slight buzzing afoot around today’s — Valentine’s Day — Google custom logo/animation (I believe they’re called Google Doodles). Cute and definitely worth a watch. Just go to Google if it’s still VD, or if everything’s right with your world and you have no reason to drop by Google today, check it out later at the Google Doodles page. Go ahead, watch it, and come on back… I’ll wait.

Back already? Of course not. Admit it, you’re normal, so you spent who knows how many minutes (hours?) exploring all the Doodles, completely forgot about this post, and somehow just accidentally managed to come across this again and got reminded that you were in the middle of reading it. I understand, and not to worry, I’ll wrap it up quick…

Did you see the gay couple pictured? That’s what the buzz is all about. Interesting. But what I find more interesting is that it tends to mask the true message of the Doodle, a message that Google is actually inadvertently spreading, which is:

We don’t need Google to succeed. We just need to be real life observant.

Big surprise, huh?
