Nature does not do anything in straight lines. No natural feature of the landscape, or living thing on Earth has straight lines. Only we humans make straight lines. A Rabbi friend of mine says that human beings are like pebbles, and not like bricks. Pebbles have rounded outlines, and protuberances everywhere. You cannot categorize pebbles-each …
Everyone should be aware of the two huge issues in the news lately. One is the cascade of "worker shortages" everywhere, from local bars and restaurants to big airlines, delivery services, and trucking lines.
