Some days it's chickens.
Some days feathers.

-Robert Williamson III
    Never make key tactical decisions
    while having electro-convulsive seizures.

    To visualize a tipping point, think of
    a wave composed of individual drops.
    Drops increase the wave, which grows until
    it reaches its peak and plunges forward.
    This means no effort is useless, because
    it is contributing to a larger outcome,
    and that even small actions can produce
    profound changes.

    When life hands you a set of wheels and
    sends you around and around in circles,
    go rollerskating.
Did... I do the right thing, sir? Last night?
-Miles Vorkosigan

Yes. A right thing. Perhaps not the best of all
possible right things. Three days from now you may
think of a cleverer tactic, but you were the man
on the ground at the time. I try not to second-guess
my field commanders.

While you're at it, make those circles into figger eights, if only to break out of the rut. Or spiral in and spiral out.

Yes, we're back. Maybe I'll post something soon...
