For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Climbing Cherry Trees
There’s no good reason to climb the old cherry tree in the backyard. At least, there’s no good reason that I, as an adult, can bring to mind. I can remember clearly enough a time where I was small, light, and somewhat impervious to injury. I know that “the reason” that boy climbed the tree at least once a day was just a collection of barely related pieces of information. Raw statements about reality floating in a mind so light and motile that it could not really be thought of as a very cohesive string of consciousness. These "reason" pieces were related in that they had something to do with trees, but not necessarily with climbing them or not.

Chivalry Isn’t dead but it is dying.
I went to recycle some bottles and cans today. It was just over 100° outside and I had two of my dogs in the car. The first time I only passed by the recycling center because it was too crowded so I went to the grocery store first and then I circled around and came back to the recycling center about 30 minutes later. The first time I passed by I noticed a man talking to someone in a car which was blocking the street. I was surprised to see that the man was still there when I returned 30 minutes later.
