A seat belt !! For take off, we had to put on a shoulder harness in addition to the standard airplane seat belt. Never seen this before. This is on United flight from Newark to New Delhi.

Simple geometry would suggest that the middle position should not be there. In fact, the more mathematically oriented will point out that the middle point of a square with six feet sides is only 1/sqrt(2) of six feet or about 70% of the required distance…

I am not sure why they put this there. This is in the elevator to the United Club in Newark airport. I was going to ask the lady at the counter but between my mask, her mask, two layers of plexiglass and six feet of separation, I thought the better of it!!

The math nerd in me still protests!

For somebody obsessed with creating intersection points, the city of New York could not have been a more appropriate point to create a generational intersection. I landed today in the city of more street intersections than I can think of drawn by two forces…

Here to settle out on the property in the city where the next generation (Natasha) is going to settle down for the foreseeable future…

Also here to catch a flight to India to confront a new reality there … that the prior generation (dad and mom) has been unsettled for ever…

In the hustle and bustle of this city, standing at a street intersection anywhere… that is the lesson of life you as thee middle generation learn…

People come… and people go…

The old order changeth yielding place to new…
