Apparel replacements

Lately I bought a red shirt in spirit of an older one or should I say two of them. One is a red muir woods shirt and another grey shirt with arizona on it from a defunct T-shirt shop(they always seem to be lifting shops from there, if last year it was the T-shirt shop, now its the Gloria Jeans coffee shop). The marriage of those two shirts should result in what I have now: a red shirt with Arizona on it.

I used to have nice green half pants from wet seal. They went for a toss with little wear and more tear(blame it on the wash). That was aplain one. But now I have a new green one with 6 pockets. So now our wardrobe is predictable?

Is it cloth-bound comfort zone or just a corollary of our colour preferences? An interesting thing about the color choices , popularity of green and red increases with advanced age. An academic way of sayng, I am getting to the top of the hill faster than it.

Habit and Brains

Say what you want about habit, its been taken to heights where a person is willing to do extra work for the same effect. Like say dictionary.com will very well bring up the page I want, no, I have to type dictionary.reference.com to no added good.On the other end, a smart IIT engineer's laziness led to his unix expertise.

Noncausal effect

Today after a very small hike, I have worse effects than after a moderate one. The whole day went into the black hole of sleep.

Relative noise

I am a big anti noise person. I realised this when I had to work in a lab, with constant noise in it. Now even an event of dragging something on the floor upsets me when its something that can be lifted for the intended dsplacement. For such a person a coffee grinder does make a perceptible sound right. Not really, if one is busy creating a racquet of their own playing memory and losing with a 6 yr old.

Looking up

How many times should you go to the South Mountains to get to the Rock Castle?
Its possible the first time.
How many times should you go to the foot of the South Mts to see the Rock Castle?
For me it took more or less 8.

Until the last time, I didnt think that it was possible to see the Castle from the start itself. This time we were going at a leisurely place. All the other times, subconsciously there's a thing that theres so much distance ahead, that we dont let the relaxing mood to creep in.

10.27.12
How many times should you travel on I17  that you can see Sedona from there and Humphrey's too.

Blue 1 Lake

It was interesting to see this and Yellow 5 Lake as colors on a Chewing gum. It takes me back to the time I acquired Fevicryl paints - not in crayons, not watercolors but small glass bottles of it.
Those bottles looked magical in themselves with just one color. Perfect like a doctor's glass vial. What about the fun of having full length brushes instead of the small brush that comes with the watercolors. I am a big fan of miniature bar this exception. Owning these colors should have changed my life in a big way, like a camera had to have a big impact in my life, as much as flight on the world. Somehow all the fancies just get lost, moving onto other children or novices.
