More words about balance

I re-learned some important lessons about listening last night, I don't do it enough. Fortunately there were patient people who let me yammer on a bit.
Without getting into details, I think the political result of the day may surprise some people with the ultimate result. Not the immediate one, but what comes later.
I didn't accomplish everything I had planned today, but I did pretty well. Who could ask for anything more?

"Thanks and Unthanks" plus miscellaneous items

My friend, let's call him Steve (wink), inspired me to write another post. It's going to be in two sections today. 1.

Unthanks to the guy driving in front of me in the left turn only lane, which is clearly marked (including a left turn arrow) and had people signalling left, who urgently had to turn right instead at the last second.

Sound

My upstairs neighbors do not appear to be aware that sound propogates not just through air, but also through materials such as... windows, floors (especially here), ceilings. Young kids I understand.

Karmic balance

Initially this was going to be a post about some bad drivers in traffic today, who got my goose a bit. Fortunately, life has a way of balancing out, so it's reunion night with castmates from my last show! Much fun to be had there. To quote a movie: "End of line."
