My memory banks seem to be doing an excellent job of storing information upstairs. The process that my memory banks use to store information is a complete mystery to me. I have found out that some of the information stored upstairs is not always readily available. This not-readily-available information is usually unimportant. Old memories. The important stuff is usually easily accessible.
Sometimes, I ask myself what brings out this not-readily-available information. This is another complete mystery to me. Today, I thought about it and am convinced that something must 'trigger' these thoughts to surface. Something that I see or hear 'triggers' a complex information retrieval system that targets anything upstairs that resembles my 'trigger.' No matter how old the information is, apparently.
Todays random thought bouncing around in my head brings me to Burger King, where I saw one lady that had five children with her in the 'play' area. Ranging in age from crawling to about 5 years old. She was feeding two of them, while a couple more were playing in the play area, barefoot. The crawler was nowhere near her, crawling around by the garbage bin near the door. Everyone seemed to be staring at him, wondering who his parents were. Someone finally picked him up and the mother came over to grab him. Busy mom, I guess. This, I can pass off as excusable. What I can't pass off as excusable is when someone came in while she was getting her kids ready to leave and she said 'this floor is disgusting, just look at it.' I had to really force myself to keep the words 'are you kidding, lady?- your baby was just crawling all the way over by the garbage on this disgusting floor. what are you talking about?' from coming out.
Anyway, that's all.
