Life is a Bowl of Penguins

Penguins only live in the southern hemisphere and polar bears only in the north. What would happen if penguins were introduced to the north? I bet someone has already tried it. Some Canadian no doubt. They do things like that you know.
If you stay in the bowl with all the other plastic penguins things will stay cosy and the same. But sometimes you've just got to jump out of the bowl and see what's in the North.

This city has a million back streets, and there is someone heading down every one of them. Are they walking towards you or away from you. I guess it's all a matter of relativity. As an observer what you see is not necessarily the truth, at least not for everyone. We all live in different worlds on the same planet; gravity pulling us in and out of orbits.
Life could be Newtonian, but only at a slower pace. The faster you move the stranger things become.

Got a warm place to sleep tonight?

The nights are bloody cold now, especially if you have to sleep outside.

As The Captain once said:
A man's gotta live
A man's gotta eat
A man's gotta have shoes to walk out on the street.

It pays to think outside the box. That's what they say.
This box was sitting outside the local tofu shop, drying in the sun.
See how well scrubbed it looks? Almost like it washed up on some distant shore, a little battered and worn but still working... a bit like me...
