Three Things

 1.  I sat and was reading a news piece by KOMO (TV station out of Seattle).  There was a parking argument in town....where things got out of control, and one guy pulls a pistol to shoot a second guy.  So in describing this....KOMO notes that a "juvenile man" was the guy shot.

Normally, the minute you say juvenile....it's a kid or teenager.   So the term man going with juvenile?  Well...it doesn't make sense unless he was in Seattle.  

2.  People who have had Covid....say that even three years later....they still have some symptoms and have never gotten 100-percent well.  The number?  Well....it's close to 50-percent.  

A big deal?  If you were a roofer or construction worker?  Yeah.  But the story begs questions and why aren't the PhD doctors not really curious about why?

Just mentally thinking this?  Well.....you just don't know.

3.  I'm getting to a point where I think if you utter the word 'decade' and ask some gal/guy to define it....more than half would probably say it means a thousand years. I'm not saying people are stupid....it's just that they have lost a sense of reality.

Three:
Before they were sold to a conglomerate, the local-owned family-operated ARBY'S offered an innovative sandwich -- the 'Decade'.
.
For about six fedbux, a Decade had a sampling of everything in the kitchen -- chicken, fish, brisket, that Spam stuff, plus multiple cheese slices.
The latest owners offer something similar -- a 'Meat-Mountain' -- for twelve fedbux.
.
Apparently, the Decade is off the menu...
... supporting your theory of misplaced reality.
