SIZE Matters & Friday Fixins' an ALL!

Size Does Matter! Ok...no; this blog isn't about that, at least not directly....I leave you to your own inclinations... Well its Friday and its been a monster of a week. In spite of being exhausted, I have survived and even flourished....but I guess that's not unusual or news-worthy. Major traffic accident on the commute in...only noteworthy til the next recent accident.....hmmm..[WARNING!!! rambling blogger on the lose!] Size Matters! Some sayings are immortal because they are always true in some respect. I grew up in the country so you hear all kinds of stories and see all kinds of things, typically starting out with, "hey, watch this..." Anyway, you don't use a machine gun to hunt rabbits or dear (oops) deer, you don't kill flies with bazookas, and you don't go ballistic at a mere infringement. You also don't intimidate a hummer with a VW beetle. However; the dark side of such a statement is just this: Size matters; but tradgicly wasted/destructive when powered by small minds. For instance, an idiot in an Armada backs over somebody in a wheelchair while applying lipstick. Tradgic. Anyway, you don't need me to give you examples along with your own 4 million. But let's just smile at the truths behind it all and nod that we understand - we're on the same page. I hate to see good things go to waste. Hmmm...like football careers of talented athletes.... Lastly, since size matters; be respectful of it. Don't park a hummer in a compact. Don't throw midgets at gorillas and don't confuse Uncle Sam with Uncle Tom. Size matters. Words matter. Timing matters. Identity matters. Being stupid matters. Stupid matters matter. Matter matters. So much for a most unusual Friday and its untypical circumstances that I cant tell you about anyway — you might believe me. So on to the fixins for your lickins....
