We've all heard that life is a journey...well I for one believe that. And like any journey, you begin by choosing your route. Initially, you may be able to see down the road a fair piece, which can be a great help in picking the route you wish to take. But I also believe that all roads contain at least one blind curve....possibly you have been speeding along, looking at your watch, making what you think is good time, blissfully unaware of what lies ahead.
Until you happen upon it. Then it's all right there, right now...frantic swerving, screeching tires, and the smell of hot brakes.
But you make it....true, you're shaken to your core, and you're headed in a direction you probably didn't envision when you set out on the journey, but the destination still remains the same. What has changed however, is your newfound appreciation for the road. Now you tend to slow down, you look ahead to try and see what other surprises the road may have in store, and along the way you begin to notice what you may have considered mundane, just moments earlier.
I believe that the road that lies beyond each of our blind curves can be an opportunity. A chance to take in the scenery that up until now, we've been to busy to notice. The eventuality of the destination may be a constant, but that doesn't mean we can't take in some local flavor along the way.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

(for some reason on this forum I want to change starfish to crawfish, but alas, enjoy)
An old man had a habit of early morning walks on the beach.
One day, after a storm, he saw a human figure in the distance moving like a dancer. As he came closer he saw that it was a young woman and she was not dancing but was reaching down to the sand, picking up a starfish and very gently throwing them into the ocean.
"Young lady," he asked, "Why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"
"The sun is up, and the tide is going out, and if I do not throw them in they will die."
"But young lady, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it? You cannot possibly make a difference."
The young woman listened politely, paused and then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves, saying, "It made a difference for that one."
