The other day I was wondering about cuteness... I was thinking about how even stuffed animals can be cute... Doesn't it seem funny to you that an inanimate object can elicit a response? Shouldn't we be smarter than that? But no... We usually aren't.

And without cuteness where would we be? We certainly wouldn't be such caring mammals as we are. We love cute things and we take care of them sometimes solely because they are cute. That is just part of who we tend to be....

So many of the things that we do have no good moral, or even realistic, foundation. We are mysterious creatures capable of incredible, and incredibly unconscious, acts. Bravo!

Just some pictures from my time in SF. I have since moved to the east bay and bought a ten-year-old red stick-shift Jetta for way under blue book. Now the all the vast Americas are just a drive away....
