Cool Mornings
This morning Mo and I had to take Kris to work, so I seized the opportunity by bundling up, stopping by Coffee Nation for Coffee and heading to Tipton Park to walk the trail. It was crisp and sunny and lovely. Before 9am is the best part of any day.
While I was walking I began thinking about how, in all of those big gorgeous houses around Tipton there is such a disparity of wealth. One household may have a net worth of $150k, but the house next door has one of -$150k. It really struck me as interesting, and I wonder what those who speak incessantly of equality think. In the slum areas of India the difference in net worth is minuscule. This strikes me as a good way to demonstrate that equality of opportunity
in the theoretical sense is what matters, rather than equality of real dollars.
Now Mo is napping and I am attempting to study some Arabic.
I would really like to find someone out there who can sit with me, have a cup of tea, and chat in basic Arabic. Somehow I doubt that I'm going to find that in Danville.
