from Quotes of the Day
"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
I contend that sometimes overwhelming evidence may surpass the heads of some.
How is your weekend going? Mine isn't going too badly. I bounced around San Francisco yesterday. I love the Ferry Building. Next time, I'm bringing a cooler to house any perishables. And I think it will be fun to try the caviar bar.
I love the SF Moma. The Matisse exhibit was impressive, relaxing and thought provoking. There was a neat light display as well, but for the life of me, I cannot remember the artist who designed it.
Stacey's Books. It's a great indepedent bookstore on Market St. It's about 3 stories of bookaliciousness. So many books. I didn't buy any this time around. Maybe next time.
This morning and into the afternoon, I've been doing some work. Eeek. About 5 hours worth. Some of it involves running some queries on large amounts of data and waiting a bit. At least I was able to get some laundry done.
