Timeless Wisdom

Maybe it’s just me? Or maybe it’s because it’s the middle day of a three-day-weekend. But whatever the reason, literally everything today seems like timeless wisdom to me. Don’t believe it? Well, read on, if you dare….

 

Timeless Wisdom - go with concrete.
“Just north of Maysville, Colorado, sits the forgotten town of Arbourville. The abandoned “Parlor House” still stands strong due to its unusual-for-the-time (1890s) concrete wall construction. It started out as a stagecoach stop for the Monarch Pass toll road, later became a brothel, and eventually was turned into a family home. It has been vacant and deteriorating since the late 1950s.”  Borrowed from Denver7 News.

 

So the moral of the story, Little Piggies, is to skip the straw, the twigs, and even the bricks. Go with concrete. Oh, and if you’ve got a thriving brothel business, never turn your place into a family home: Not. Ever.  And not even if it’s made of concrete. Hey, you been warned.

 

Timeless Wisdom - Aldous Huxley.

Timeless Wisdom - Sun Tzu.
‘The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.’ — Sun Tzu, AKA supreme master of timeless wisdom.

 

 

With the exception of the Aldous Huxley quote and the Denver7 News photo, these all come from my sage friend Jack Henshall.

Jack and I rode the bus to Denver together for many years back when we still lived down in the Springs, back before he retired from Kaiser Permanente to become an unrestricted free agent. Jack, your politics may still suck, and your native country of Texas is still a soulless hellhole, but your wisdom is definitely always timeless. Thanks a million, buddy!

  1. How a transplanted Biden-lovin’ yankee and a sage God-fearing conservative can still be friends remains a mystery.
