Sometimes it is best to keep your thoughts to yourself.
I think I am at one of those times.
Instead of explaining myself, and listen to different views that either don't help much or misses the point.
The song Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day comes to mind.

Traffic
Came across this picture from ugoto.com titled "You put in good effort"
Now that they finished digging it out, I wonder if they would continue to dig a path to their destination.
Another interesting site, from a fellow blogger, Melissa Plaut: New York Hack which describes her daily live as a taxi driver.
She's 30 years old, well educated and writes well. Of course, her blogs are interesting too.

Rest In Peace - Justin Nerit
Justin was 5 when he passed away on March 9 at 11:00pm after his father's car was struck at 8:20pm. His father was the Good Samartian who pulled over on Toronto's Gardiner Expressway to help another motorist who had an accident.
Justin's brother, Ethan and their mother were also in the car, but they escaped with non-life threatening injuries. Their car was about 40m in front of the other one and completely off the road when they were struck by a third vehicle passing by.
May God be with the Nerits and bless their souls.
I hope his father can be strong, stay positive and not blame himself.
This was truly tragic.

ERTW
"Wow, you are really an engineering at heart." was what I was told tonight.... again.
Should I stay on the current, most debated, track?
Or should I return and wave the flags of ERTW again?
Should I stay here and work myself to death, like some claims to be?
Or should I stay under for a few years, like many, when I can't find a job as an engineer?
Tough questions. Perhaps I should flip a coin.

The Two Important Qualities as a Doctor
Got the following story from email. Worth reading.
First-year students at Med School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body.
They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.
The professor began the lecture by telling them:
"In medicine, it is necessary to possess two important qualities as a doctor:
The first is that you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body."
To illustrate, he pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the anus of the corpse, withdrew it, and stuck it in his mouth.
"Go ahead and do the same thing," he told his students.
The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body
and sucking on it.
When everyone finished, the professor looked at them and said,
"The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my middle finger and sucked on my index finger.
Now learn to pay attention."
