A Topic for Today


Today I could try to explain how sausage is made.
Or scientifically, we could cover all the elements
which compose the Periodic Table of Elements.
Today could be packed with the equations which

are contained in Isaac Newton’s Principia revealing
the mathematical principals by which we all live.
We could explore the Spanish influence on archi-
tecture in Ecuador, could ruminate on the when,

where and why and how Van Gogh painted The
Starry Night. The font of knowledge is endless, my
friends. The real question lies in where to begin?
Sausage would be the easiest, I figure. I have per-

sonally watched it being made. It has a long and
rich history, I can tell you. Skip the slaughtering
of the animal it takes to make. That’s gross! Pick
up the process as the ingredients are being stuffed

into the casing. That part shouldn't ruin your appetite.
I can say that most assuredly Sir Isaac, old Vincent and
the natives of Ecuador have all enjoyed a good sausage
in their time. Personally, I prefer Bratwurst with a good

yellow mustard slathered over mine. And where that
falls exactly on The Periodic Table of Elements, I’m not
quite sure. That just about covers it all.
