3 October 2017 - incompetence

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

A. I visited my friend Betsy and found her depressed, so I drew her a cartoon. I can barely draw recognizable stick figures, but if you let incompetence bar your way, you will lead a boring life. On one side, a barren city street. Around the corner, a lush paradise, as best I could portray with a few symbols, and an angel calling on the radio “Heavens to Betsy! Heavens to Betsy!” But the angel concluded sadly, “Still no answer.”

Was the cartoon a good idea? To know, I would need competence.

B. If you let incompetence bar your way, you are unlikely to die in an igloo collapse.
