I was riding through the desert on a camel on a Sunday, which was my way. I was a trader by day, loner by night. I was lost, and with no family to come looking, I was worried. I saw camel prints in the sand, but they were my own. I had gone in circles. I almost gave up when I saw an oasis. Mirage. I got off my camel to take a nap. Another man passed me, I asked for directions, then traveled to the city. I was almost home. When I arrived, the city was destroyed by invaders.

Edible Outdoors
It was cold. I was in the woods during an especially harsh winter. I was out of food and water. I went outside, barley able to bare the weather, and gathered some frozen berries and nuts. I’m glad I found anything. I found a frozen rabbit. I grabbed a handful of snow and put it in my cup. I brought everything back to my tent and let it thaw. I dried out some wet logs and started a fire to cook the rabbit. That’s what I ate with the berries and nuts. I drank the melted snow. Back to sleep.

Aristotle and the Student of Logic.
🌀 Aristotle’s Logic… Gone Delightfully Haywire Aristotle stood beneath the olive tree, stroking his beard with the serene confidence of a man who believed the universe could be tamed by syllogisms... That it could be schooled by reasoning in which conclusions are drawn from two premises, with a common or middle term being present in the premises...but not in the conclusion.
