The Big Slowdown

Well, I made it to 6th gear in about a month or so. But, I'm afraid my posts will be slowing down significantly. You see, I'm picking up the MINI on Saturday and I think I may find myself too busy to be sitting at my computer. Then again, if I still have a job, I will have plenty of time.

This a good thing?

Don't we learn more by listening (reading) than writing?

I am very glad for all of the information here but have never understood the effort to simply have a lot of posts. I also understand if no one posts there is no info. I will continue to put what info I have but will spend more time reading than posting. Just my $.02.

And now for your daily dose of Zen,..or sumptin like that.

The amount of wisdom and time to spread it are diametrically opposed elements.

If you spend all your time spreading your wisdom, you no longer have time to acquire it.

If your sole purpose is to acquire enormous amounts of wisdom, you have no time to spread it.

Balance is the key to both.

And thus ends this particular session in the art of Zen.

Hehe, boy, can I spread it?
