SPEED

I was thinking about how slowly and how fast some things move. Our new neighbors wrote that they expected to have their new house done in 8 weeks. I wrote back that, after forever, tacking on 8 weeks couldn't be bad. I then mentioned what I called the "speed of impatience."

That got some cells rubbing under my lack of hair.

Let's say the speed of light is the fastest. What would the ranking then BE? Hmmmmm.

FASTEST TO SLOWEST
The speed of light
The speed of dream
The speed of prayer
The speed of lightning
The speed of ego
The speed of rocket
The speed of greed
The speed of jet
The speed of teed golf ball
The speed of sound
The speed of radar gun shot by motorcycle cop hiding behind bushes
The speed of eyeblink
The speed of NYC cab
The speed of hail
The speed of rain
The speed of snow
The speed of flirt
The speed of fiduciary responsibility
The speed of tv series cancellation
The speed of rumor
The speed of stink
The speed of perfume
The speed of McDonald's drive thru window
The speed of dog on fallen crumb
The speed of justice
The speed of constipation
The speed of snow
The speed of seed
The speed of maturity
The speed of bald
The speed of impatience

This could go on and on at the speed of idea. Have fun.
