Because Ben said I would forget...

The Life and Times of Mr. Smith

Reflections from the life and times of Mr. Smith. This morning I decided to go to Starbucks. I heard it was an awesome place. I would assume Starbucks would have something to do with space. I would assume they would sell spacesuits and things of that sort. I paused, and I felt compelled to reflect on life, and realized, Starbucks is also called Starbucks coffee. And it might be rather fun to consume coffee in space. I jumped on my unicycle and rode down town. Upon pulling it up to Starbucks, I noticed there weren’t many spaceships around. I was rather disappointed. And I paused and reflected on life and the merits of having rocket propelled engines instead of gasoline. I decided to delay my Starbucks visit for the day, and went over to the lab to produce a car with a rocket engine. The boys at the lab – God rest their souls – were excited to see me again. Last time I was there I created a machine that gave you an instant haircut. (That was after my little hippie sprint.) The good news is, I succeeded in making my rocket propelled car. The bad news is it took two tries. Well…craters are kind of attractive. I think everyone should be making them. They go well with other things that can be seen in space like the Grand Canyon and the Great Wall of China. Good thing the lab is so far from my house.
Thus ends this week's reflections. And then my mirror image disappeared.
