I caught part of a recent interview with an economist on the radio recently. The interviewer was asking how local businesses could compete with Wal-Mart saying, "People can walk into Wal-Mart and get anything they want." The economist replied, "Not if they want a Rolex."

Where did I see it? ... “It’s important to learn from our mistakes so that we can recognize them when we make them again.” ... probably a Cryptoquote.

I was taught that, “the only constant is change” but, “the more things change the more they stay the same.”
I remember my one and only visit to Chicago several decades ago and walking down the, “miracle mile” thinking it was just like any other bunch of chains stores and restaurants all over America. New Orleans was, “a place that felt like a place” but so much of our diverse culture of individualism has become like Lucy pulling the football away from Charley Brown; predictable, funny, and sad.
“No matter where you go, there you are.”
I enjoyed your musings and, if you ping, please add me?
