miscellaneous musings
Carl-E:
On the other hand, a "vacation" church service trip created a work crew that built a ramp on our house for my daughter. Hosted by a local church, the majority of the crew was from out of state.
She's able to come and go as she pleases for the first time in 5 years.
I know, not quite the same thing, but they do sometimes get lumped together.
94ssd:
I used to volunteer with a group that built houses in Corbin, Kentucky. Certainly not a vacation, and I learned wiring over a few years of being there. But I still wonder what more could have been done if the money that was spent to feed, transport and house us was used to spend more money on building or, hell, hire people to do the work and create desperately needed jobs. And a mob of 50 of teenagers, most of whom have no idea what they're doing and have to be taught, isn't really an efficient way to do the work either.
Aimless:
This is not much of a musing but I was just struck by the thought that "The Sunk Costs Fallacy" would perhaps be a good indie band name
Method of Madness:
Honestly, there's no shortage of good band names to be found by looking at things, and yet there are so many bands with terrible names.
Like Fallout Boy. Nobody likes Milhouse, why should anyone like them?

Aw come on Windows, can't take that long to list the contents of a directory with 450,000 files in it, can it? :psyduck:
edit (to avoid double posting)--
I was flipping channels on the TV and came across a baseball game (Anaheim Angels vs. Texas Rangers). The announcer said, "The runner is about 27 feet from the base and the pitcher throws the ball to the first baseman. How fast does the runner have to run to get back to the base? You gotta be a mathematical genius to figure that out. It must be like 200 miles per hour." :psyduck:
