Humanity is resplendent in its diversity and display of idiocy, foolishness, bad ideas, and folks attempting to qualify for their personal Darwin Award, and then failing. One merely has to (almost unavoidable, sadly so) look around yourself while passing through the continuum and then let some small portion of it register on your sensory apparatuses w/o incurring excess damage from the experience.

It's beyond me - far, far beyond me - why somebody would post that storage sign, "My neighbors..." Just to be cute? For such a business? :? (Also, the apostrophe was erroneously omitted, which tells me even more about the author.) :mrgreen:

Perhaps it was done thinking that the boundary issues referred to one's behavior at the neighbor's home and that storing stuff at this business was more secure?

The first time I read Vonnegut I thought it was science fiction.
The second time I realized it wasn't science or fiction.
I have not read all of his stuff but have read a lot.
I always reread them. Once just would not do.

It never occurred to me to take a second look at him. Each original look seemed intense enough, to me. I was glad for his perspective on things, though. He seemed a fresh to way of being frank.
