Genetique Tackling

 

I guess when scientists finish all this Gene Mapping …

they will make a fortune selling the maps at gas stations.

 

note: making Gene Maps is probably really difficult; they must be really really really small.

double note: Gene Maps don’t fold: they twist.

triple note: scientists could have used: researching, investigating, unravelling, analyzing, probing, studying …
but they chose mapping.
They must think they are explorers or something.

quadruple note: the photo has nothing to do with Gene mapping … I just don’t have any good photos of that stuff. I blame zoom lens technology.

quintuple note: isn’t anyone working on the other GPS: Genome Positioning System?

Today #58

Today flew by like a penguin.

I’m A Nostalgician

 

I’m not good at explaining where things are.

I’m much better at explaining where things were.

“It was right next to where the old police station used to be … before they moved to a new building beside where that 7-11 was before it burnt down.”

 

note: old maps just seem so much better.  … useless, but better.

double note: “Does God have blonde, brown, black, or red hair?”  That is my Sunday school question of the week.

Today #10

Today is going to be like an ice cream cone … gone before I know it.

World Maps

.

Do “World Map” makers like it when countries change names; or are they happy just copying last year’s “World Map”?

If I was a country with nothing going for it, I’d change my name every year just to keep those map makers on their toes.  … and to give myself the illusion of power.

If I couldn’t change the world, at least I could change the world map!

 

note: If a country changed its name to something offensive, it would make geography classes more fun at school.

double note: If a country’s name doesn’t fit neatly inside the country’s space on the world map, then it’s too long.

New Zealand, Denmark, The United Kingdom, and most small island nations’ names are hanging out all over the place. Having a country’s name written over international waters is “map imperialism” in my books.

triple note: Either I need to buy a new map or something bad has happened to Ceylon, Rhodesia, Burma, and Upper Volta!

quadruple note:

Local Knowledge Necessary

It is not down in any map; true places never are.  ~Herman Melville

Memories in a wink, of other times;

My pockets full of expectations, circumstances, and chances.

In my thoughts a thousand smiles, dreams to be true for the taking.

I Saw a Man

I saw a man pursuing the horizon; Round and round they sped. I was disturbed at this; I accosted the man. “It is futile,” I said, “You can never — “”You lie,” he cried, And ran on. Stephen Crane
