Perfect Things
Some things are perfect just as they are. They have no need to change and efforts to change them should be resisted. I’ll start the list with some objects of perfection:
1. Windows XP. The most perfect computer operating system ever. Now, alas, its economic utility to Microsoft is over, so Microsoft will no longer sell it (forcing us all to purchase Vista instead. Not me. I shall resist to the death!)
2. Toll House Cookies made from the recipe on the back of the Nestles Chocolate Chip bag. No additions and no substitutions, please. Don’t muck with perfection.
3. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies made from the recipe under the lid of the Quaker Oats Oatmeal canister. Sometimes it’s printed on the side of the canister and sometimes it’s called “Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies”. As in #2 above, no additions and no substitutions, please. Don’t muck with perfection.
4. The 2004 Subaru WRX with the Turbo-charged Boxer engine. This is my car, selected for me by my son. He selected it for reasons of safety, economy, durability and coolness. I have a heavy foot and a competitive nature…so if you beat me off the line at a stop light, it would be because I let you win. There are teenage boys who drive trucks in Howard County who will never be the same. Oh and the Viva Viagra middle-aged boy in the Mustang….no contest!
I’ll add to the list as I notice perfect things…you should add, too!
