Last evening at my Monday night bowling league, I was talking to one of my teammates about O.J. Simpson getting locked up. A fellow on the other team came over and rather than joining in our revelry about the travails of the old homicidal maniac, he asked us if we really believed that O.J. murdered his ex-wife and young Goldman? We looked at one another and then almost in unison, answered yes. This chap, who I believe teaches high school so he isn't a dumb guy, launched into a long explanation about the facts of the O.J. case and all the reasons O.J. didn't do it. Let me say that he knew his O.J. evidence, but I think he had a screwy take on what the evidence meant. I just never know what to make of true believers. The world is full of people who believe in complex conspiracies, when simple explanations make more sense. Why did the Twin Towers fall down? Because airplanes hit them. The heat from the fires weakened the structures sufficiently for the floors above the impact zone to fall down on the remaining structure, causing the whole building to pancake. Pretty straight forward stuff. Is an elaborate conspiracy involving George W. Bush, the Saudis, and thousands of citizens a more likely explanation? Whether it is Bigfoot, UFOs, JFK or any number of things, conspiracy theories abound. To my way of thinking, things are what they seem to be. And it seems to me that O.J. killed them. In other news, I had my gardener training again today. We had a lecture this morning about plant propagation. It was really interesting and informative. This afternoon's lecture was on fertilizers. Let me just say that I know more about fertilizer that I ever thought I would know. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky
