Distractions
Man, it's hot today. Fall's on the way, though. I love the mountains in the fall. Is that a guitar I hear? I hope we have pizza later. The last pizza I ate wasn’t hot when it got to the house.

Subway’s New Sandwich Experience
I went into a Subway for the first time in many, many months yesterday. The new touch-screen was a surprise to me, although Subway has apparently been installing them since 2006.
I am not with the program.
The ordering experience was both better and worse than the standard standing-in-line module. On the one hand I was not delayed because…

Would all the righties please excuse us lefties while we talk?
Can you tell from the inside which hand is more creative?
There are many myths surrounding the explanation of why creativity blossoms in some of us and not others. One of the oldest is that left-handed people are naturally more creative than righties due to us lefties being right-brained.
