Duly impressed with a the ability of a new super fast MRI, perhaps it is a good time to revisit, remember this famous song/video:

If I Only had a Brain! on YouTube.

Lyrics to If I Only Had A Brain(Scarecrow)
I could wile away the hours
Conferrin’ with the flowers
Consultin’ with the rain
And my head I’d be scratchin’
While my thoughts were busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain

I’d unravel any riddle
For any individ’le
In trouble or in pain

(Dorothy)
With the thoughts you’d be thinkin’
You could be another Lincoln
If you only had a brain

(Scarecrow)
Oh, I would tell you why
The ocean’s near the shore
I could think of things I never thunk before
And then I’d sit and think some more

I would not be just a nuffin’
My head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain

Recently it was suggested that I was slowly morphing into “The Dude” from the Big Lebowski.  And I (maybe just) have noticed that folks seem to cross the street as if they are getting a visual black box warning (Friends of Droperidol Unite!).  Maybe it is the (Sweyolakan) hoodie,  the open can of Montreal Maple Syrup I sip, or the saxophone I am wailing on.

According to this article on Alzheimer’s.net, the inability to smell peanut butter may be due to onset of dementia.  Now every morning I smell my jar of peanut butter.  By early evening I have it all over my face.

“Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration act is gay discrimination, pure and simple. You can frost a dog turd, but it’s still a dog turd.“

Two very interesting heists recently highlight the possibilities of an international “who dunnit” mystery.   In London in the Hetton Garden theft although meticulous, was caught on cctv and the gang of at least six are still at large.   There are no suspects in the Leroy Minnesota theft.  

So much fun was had yesterday highlighted by  2 trips to Spokane Waste to Energy with trailer loads of juniper trimmings.  Nasty little shrubs to trim with branches all intertwined.   Golden Era is a magnet for attention which she usually gets by the employees as well as a routine Pavlovian conditioning of proffered treats at the pay station.  Another trip scheduled this AM after analgesics.
