The Mind Wanders

It is amazing what I will do to procrastionate.

There is a major assignment due on Tuesday in Finance and I found myself reading The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Wildflowers (Eastern Region). Now I don't know about you but I have never had more than a passing thought about our little colourful friends. What are they doing? Why are they here? What exactly are flowers? Are they here to enslave us all? I guess my mind had so rejected Mortgage Interest Rate calculations that it was desperately snatching at anything else it could find to occupy itself.

I suddenly snapped out of my trance, I was on page 250 or something looking at yellow flowers with 5 leaves. You see to recognize a flower you first look at the colour, then the leaf pattern. What? How did I know this? Its like in the Matrix when Neo suddenly realizes that he knows Kung Fu. Although in this case there was no bald headed black man testing my floral mastery in a cyber environment.

How had the book made its way downstairs, into my hand, opened itself and inputted its knowledge into my brain without me noticing? Sometimes these things can not be explained but I for one welcome our new Flower Guide Overlords!
