About brainbeats and action pants

Blogger has changed something, and it seems serious!
So here's an attempt to load not only a picture, but a picture of both my action pants AND the Asparagus tree--which is still alive, has flowered, spawned new asparagus trees, but has begun to lilt at a precarious angle...

as for the "brain beats", below is a prescient little quip from Soren Kierkegaard's diaries.

Of all the sciences physical science is decidedly the most insipid, and I find it amusing to reflect how, with the passing of time, that becomes trite which once called forth amazement, for such is the invariable lot of the discoveries inherent in ‘the bad infinity’. Just remember what a stir it made when the Stethoscope was introduced. Soon we shall have reached the point where every barber will use it and, when shaving you , will ask: would you like to be stethoscoped, Sir? Then someone will invent an instrument for listening to the beats of the brain. That will make a tremendous stir until, in 50 years, every barber can do it. Then in a barbershop, when one has had a haircut and a shave and has been stethoscoped (for by the it will be very common) the barber will ask: Perhaps you would also like me to listen to you brain-beats?

Soren Kierkegaard, 1846
