One winter a bunch of us guys hiked up a mountain and built a snow cave to spend the night. We each had a cubby in the snow cave to sleep in. Kind of like a catacomb. During the night one guy got claustrophobic and freaked out. I thought a bear was outside.
Three men found the genie’s lamp at the same time, so each got only one wish. The Oklahoman wished for a large ranch with rich soil, so that he could be a happy and successful farmer. The Texan wished for a impenetrable wall, as high as the highest building in the state, to keep out unwanted people. The Coloradan wished that the genie would feel that with water.

Why doesn’t he just break through the wall? It’s just snow.

Cal is a linear thinker – one step at a time without assessing the possibilities for the succeeding steps.

Reminds me of the government lockdowns, mandates, and heavily-promoted panic. We’re still isolated in that hole.
