Backup Plan

All good science has a certain blind spot
right near the center of its own area of expertise.
(Afternoon Variation Keertle Listing Red:
No playing field is fair without
a hidden water hazard round the fifty yard line.)

This one lumberjack used to advise his brother,
“Always have some backup
ready and in reserve.”

Speaking of fail-safe-systems and general overkill,
how about Life providing
man with both religion and government!

And speaking as we were abut armadillos, a Mister G.T. writes from Texas:
“Inasmuch as I am from Ohio,
why am I writing you from Texas?”

All human activities
are exchanges.
