Beware the floof . . . . even if it is small
We delivered the restored Captain Morgan statue to our friend a few moments ago. Set him in front of the front door, rang the doorbell, and hid around the corner. Our friend cried. She was so happy (after thinking her husband had simply given it away without asking her) to see him returned to her in better condition than when she found him. Even I teared up a bit.
People, I don't tend to be an overly sentimental guy, but seeing such a simple, whimsical act, one I could have done strictly for fun with no wager or consequence, bring someone to tears, it reminded me that the world is so much a better place when we exercise kindness. It's easy to hate, but even easier to be kind. One path leaves sorrow, the other sows seeds of gratitude that only spread. Who in their right mind would want any part of the former?

He’s an odd man by all accounts, but also a very decent one. I have a feeling he bought one or two of the horses he worked with on Hidalgo.
I think I might have shared this thought before, but if not, here we go: why do companies who sell various levels of potency/potential of their product continue to bother with the less-effective versions? I've never once had a headache and opted for "regular strength" Tylenol when "max strength" is sitting on the shelf right next to it. Our cascade dishwasher pods are their "Platinum" version; we don't bother with the 2-3 levels of less-effective varieties. And before anyone thinks this an elitist's mindset, I'm not just thinking about buying the "best;" I'm talking about companies investing time and resources into advertised lesser products when those same resources could be put into the superior product.
In my mind, there are [for the sake of this concept] two production lines making Tylenol: one a maximum strength product, and another making an inferior version. Remove the product from the mix, and you've got two lines that require equal attention and maintenance. If both were producing the maximum strength version, isn’t cost mitigated in such a way that it trickles down to consumers who’re ultimately getting “the best” you can offer allowing you to charge less for the best? Sure maximum strength is more expensive, but only because it’s dragging the dead weight of regular strength behind it, right?
EDIT: Pulled a @Chimpzy; this was supposed to be a "Shower Thought."

And this is the only reason I'm not a pharmacist; I'd make this "mistake" every day.
