What is truly required in order to achieve randomness of thought?
An even mix of odd thoughts or an odd mix of even thoughts?
An odd mix of odd thoughts or an even mix of even thoughts?
I suspect a random thought is neither, but some of you might even think that's odd.

No, in order to be truly random you've got to have a mix of odd and even.
No you don't. All odd (or even) thoughts would be possible but unlikely.
Are we heading back to the monkeys and typewriters?
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Well that was totally Random, Odd, and beyond my compression...

The Mazda SkyActiv engine has a compression [ratio] of 13:1.

At one of the 3 High Schools I attended I was a "Battling Bather"
At the college I attended I was a "Boll Weevil"
I'm torn between the "Wolverines" and the "Razorbacks"
There must be a message in there somewhere

Corn & rice are coming off now, beans around a week & a half, They're pouring the paraquat to the cotton so that won't be far behind.
Another season winding down...

Gonna put this here...
Went wheeler riding with my grandson, saw a timber rattler ~4' long, herded it across the road so we wouldn't run over it.
Busted many a mudhole, fun was had by all.

Ah! A quad bike.
(We call it that because it has extra large training wheels for people like Quaddy)
