Language is such a fickle thing.
I never understood why we all call countries by a different name than they call themselves.
If aliens come, will we insist their planet is named Kepler 12 3 despite what they called themselves for 100,000 years now?

There's lots of things I don't understand.

I got past it.

I personally think 'odd' is a good thing.

Morning guys.  All this metal talk reminds me that I have round hunk of platinum to sell.

[coffee] time now!

My legs feel much better after a good nights sleep. I had to push it the whole run to make that 9:45 per mile pace.

A lot of analyzing and philosiphizing in here this morning.

I just want my coffee.   Stamp me simple.
