  • I once listened to a presentation by a guy who had this really elaborate plan, based on everyone doing their jobs absolutely perfectly, with nothing going wrong at all. If anything skipped a beat, anywhere along the way, the entire house of cards would come down.

    I asked what would happen if someone didn’t accomplish their objectives, and he said they would. But what if they didn’t? They will. That’s when I said, you aren’t taking the human factor into account, and he said that the solution is to “fire the human, and get a new human.”

    I once watched one eat a dead possum, 3 feet from me. He was holding it with these massive talons, and tearing off strips of meat with his fearsome looking beak. He did not look like someone you’d want to mess with. Absolutely magnificent.

    Meanwhile, a line of buzzards sat on a brick wall behind him, watching on forlornly, hoping the eagle would leave something for them.
