BUMPER
MUSINGS
Here some one-liners that came out of self examination. I related on another page called Insights, Truths and Traps that I used to have a friend who liked to ask, "Do you ever think about the things you think about?" These musings are the result of my thinking about the things I think about. I'm not some psychological expert, but I know that people are pretty much the same. I hope you gain some insight form this page. There is some duplication between this and the Insights page. But only in that these Bumpers are the short version. These are just brief sayings, not textbooks on each subject. Think of them as Home Spinning.
