And if you met Ron P. on the trail, then what?

Looking at CDs by Chuck Mangione, Weather Report, Pink Floyd, Dolly Parton, Kronos Quartet, IIIrd Tyme Out, Bill Hicks, The Seldom Scene, Tangerine Dream, Claire Lynch, Miles Davis, Stan Kenton, Tomita, Rampal, nine inch nails, Keith & Rusty McNeil; books by William Faulkner, Lu Hsun, Brendan Gill, Michael Belfiore, Wayne Biddle, Augusten Burroughs, Ken Tanner, Stephen and Robin Larsen.

Thinking again about the Korean movie "Shadows in the Palace."

Many the words unknown, from chemical engineering solutions to sewing machine parts.

Many the explanations for not advancing, progressing, interloping or eloping.

Every utterance a technical manual of Germanwordsstrungtogether.

Thinking ahead to washable, social fabric wrapping our bodies.

How does a humble life go with luxury goods?

How many people buy a vehicle and practice changing a tyre along the roadside before a blowout occurs?

What is a modern library?

What does 1ERECT2 mean when two people are sitting with the doors of their one lorry open?

How many pretend to have mysterious lives?

Why be inquisitive in polite company?  When is saying "need to know only" ignored by the unnaturally curious?

Who hires and trains soldiers/guards to torture captors?

Who stops perpetuating perspiration?

What does it feel like not to be superficial?

How to deprogram a fear of being obscure?

Where?

Why?

To what extent?

Isn't meteorology the study of the sky falling?  Is it the study of meteors?  Why not?
