How to Embrace Progress

It is an interesting paradox. You create a product that’s sole reason for existing is to take up space in packages, then you must ship it all over the world from your factory. Logically, there must be trucks, boxcars, and shipping containers traveling all over the world, transporting nothing but brand-new packing peanuts and rolls of bubble wrap.

That must be a fairly low-stress run for a trucker. No need to worry about the shipment getting damaged, and the fuel costs have to be lower than usual. It also would be a real kick in the pants for any hijacker who steals the shipment looking for stuff they can sell.

How to Explain Yourself

A mutual friend once asked Ric how someone gets through my shell to know “the real Meyer.” Ric told them that there is no shell, and what they thought was a shell was “the real Meyer.” Ric told me that later, and I found it funny. He also told me that the person he was talking to looked horrified at that idea, which I found hilarious.

Which, now that I think about it, might be part of the problem.
