Wait But Why

Robert:

A fellow named Tim Urban writes one of the most unpretentiously intelligent blogs I have seen, and I'm an addictive blog reader.

It's called Wait But Why.

His posts are as insightful, brilliant and humorous as a New Yorker cartoon, if the cartoon's premise were developed into a short article.

Here are a couple of posts from the archives of 2014:

Paraphrasing E.B. White

Robert:

To paraphrase E.B. White:

Tepic Plaza, December 2014

Robert:

I spent the weekend in Tepic, the capitol of our state (Nayarit).

Tepic has a particularly pleasant plaza...always teeming with families amd shoppers, and especially so as we near Navidad (Xmas). Here is some video taken as we walked around Saturday evening.

(Remember that YouTube often defaults to a low resolution 360 playback; you can select much clearer quality by clicking the little gear icon below the YouTube screen on PCs, or the three vertically aligned dots in the upper right hand corner of the YouTube screen on an iPad, and selecting 480, 720 etc.)
