Plans 'o the Day, volume 3

Symbolic of my effort to blog daily--and, in fact, do it better while I'm cut off from the internet on my honeymoon--I am dipping back to my college years when I offered a new thought daily. Well, almost daily.

                 Thought of the Day
    Through the window, I just saw a large bug fly into a spider's web.
The owner of the web promptly rushed out and set to frantically securing his
new guest into place.  It works on the bug for maybe 15 seconds, which, let's
face it, is quite a while when you have a shelf life shorter than a tomato.  So
the bug's trussed up like, well, a dying bug in a spider's web, when what
happens?  The spider drops him.  All that work for nothing.  But like many
students here, I have sympathy for that spider.  Not because we feel like
"animals are people too" or support "spiders' rights to life."  But with final
projects and papers that aren't getting done, that little bug that ended up on
the pavement--that could be our semester.
