Not tremendously controversial, not tremendously deep, simply stuff I think about and don't want to lose on my way...
Thanks for your visit, and I appreciate any comments you feel like leaving behind. :)
Sherlock Holmes, in A Study in Scarlett, explained to Watson why he didn't know the composition of the solar system and several other things that were considered common knowledge of educated people. He compared our brains to attics that have a limited amount of space:
"Depend upon it - there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."
I'd like to have a place to remember all the things that get elbowed out of my brain by new information. Either that, or I'm just emptying out my brain to make room for more!
