There are few contests that go on for very long. Generally speaking, if a winner isn't clearly established within a few decades, the contestants get bored and decide to go for a pizza instead. There is at least one contest, however, that seems like it could last forever. That may be because the contestants aren't mortal. They're not even immortal. They're mindless properties that seem able to enlist everyone and everything to their respective causes: inertia and momentum.

As long as the politicians in Washington are going on about balancing the budget, I thought I would jump on the proverbial bandwagon and put in my two cents about balance. But I don't want to talk about problems as simple as balancing a budget. I mean, kids learn how to add and subtract in grade school. That's all a budget is, adding and subtracting until you come out with zero. How hard can that be? No, I want to talk about a sort of balance that's much harder to achieve, so hard, in fact, that I call it a conundrum.

People in Utah (or at least in Salt Lake County) are in a hurry. In fact, they're in more of a hurry than the law allows. You can tell this by the way they drive (speeding and tailgating). Oddly enough (to me), they draw the line at breaking laws which require them to illegally cross a line (one that's painted on the road, I mean).
On Eternity

Mortality is, by definition, finite, thus making mortals inherently unqualified to comprehend the scope of eternity. And yet, there is in each of us, a part which once, perhaps, understood. I expect it is that part which makes me spend so much time trying to comprehend this subject I am so unable to understand (remember?). "What's so hard to understand?" you're wondering. It's not the technical definition I ponder. Endless is technically easy enough to understand. It's the implications behind the definitions that leave me pondering.
