Need a Permit I had to go downtown a couple weeks ago. Some thing you need a permit for. That you can’t get online, you have to apply in person. It’s only five dollars. And the only reason they would reject you for the permit is if you happen to be an escaped […]

Instinct People Humans have a ton of instincts. Things that compel us to behaviors, sometimes against our will. Most of us are familiar with social instincts, and food instincts and sex instincts. But there is also a humor instinct. It makes sense from a physiological-immune system kind of way. Whenever we laugh, aside […]
Origins Of The Gods
Learning Center I went to an interesting lecture a couple of nights ago at a local learning center. The topic was the history of written language.

Hypnotic Massage Therapist
Part Time Client I have a client who is a massage therapist. I consult with her once or twice a month. Her main concern is to convert one time clients to long time clients. She has a lot of interesting advertising methods that work very well. She doesn’t have any problems getting clients, so […]
Reversions To The Mean
Moving Averages Stock charts are a fascinating combination of technical and mathematical specificity and human psychology. One one hand they can be a very accurate representation of a company’s health. On the other hand, they are a pure expression of human psychology. One way to look at a chart is to compare the day […]
