The Kahn Academy is a remarkable collection of videos aimed at simplifying the complex, demystifying the unknown, and giving one more chance to folks who are under the impression that algebra, calculus, and physics are the tools of the devil.

Alas, it is too late for me.

I am looking forward to doing a Key West simulation blog. I have found a town in Maryland that will fit on the end of a pencil, and I am going to take pictures of the principal street, the trees, the trash bins, and the feral dogs.

He should love it.

Fondest regards,

You can’t move to the Keys. You would hate the lack of head butting against a cruel fate down here. We are lotus eaters. You would fade away from the lack of challenges.
You don’t need money, just a job. Making a living taking pictures fo a university is not good practice for carving a life in the keys. You clould sit on duval and beg. You’d be amazed.

I’ve actually benefited from a couple of the Khan videos, they’re well done and get the message across.

Looks like you have too. I’m too embarassed to post all of those so I resort to videos by others…

I’ve been shooting pictures everyday. He is a stand in for my Vespa when I’m not riding. Here is a link to my doggy just so you have a taste of photography:

MY DOG JUNIOR PHOTOS.

In the meantime I am ready for my first lesson in human perversity.

Last night Kim and I were looking at aerial views of the Keys and wondering what it would be like to live down there in some out of the way place. “Don’t you know someone who lives down there?” That would be you.

So, how difficult is it for someone to live down there? How rich do I have to be?

Someone needs to explain human perversity to you.
