When Queen Bee Went to the Rocks in Hocking Hills

Zen Yogi:  where are the Hocking Hills, Silas?

No idea but they must be somewhere in the general Cincinnati area.


Zen Yogi:  she looks like a trim lass

Quite so and you're a smooth and suave bear when you don't say for her age.  She's a trim lass for any age these days.

She also had some pictures of some type of preserve for various herbs and reefer was one of them but they were not allowed to pick any of it.  I said I thought that was kind of a teaser but she didn't mind since she's not one for the heathen loco weed anyway.


Zen Yogi:  what's her trip, Silas?

Dunno, Yogi, since she's always been inscrutable to me.  These Frasers are great li'l thinkers but we suck as communicators.

Zen Yogi:  you were a great communicator during your corporate life and that's where you learned to fully revile corporate slang

That was just a role, Brer Bear.  In a corporation, the moves are generally limited and the responses generally obvious.  The only part which was real was when my friend and I made a deal not to compete with each other to get the open Vice President job for the department.  One of us would have taken it but most likely in a bloodbath and nothing is worth that.

Zen Yogi:  life in Jellystone Park isn't like that

Hardly anywhere is like that, Yogi.


Queen Bee's pics reveal about as much as she ever will but they have been remarkable.  Something I heard in the last few days I haven't heard in years was the concern over Who Was the Dumb One.  That's a shame as there is no Dumb One since the kids invented the term.  The actual spread of IQ measurements was trivial and all were consistently high but no astrophysicists.

There's always been a contest for Who's the Smart One but that has no meaning either.

Zen Yogi:  does this actually have a point, Silas?

Patience, Brer Bear, it's coming.

We have seen Queen Bee resist the corporate demon since she's only as close as she needs to be for the job which has been highly-fulfilling in ways others don't offer since she gets much-reduced costs on flying so she's been everywhere.

(Add music background fill with Johnny Cash singing, "I've Been Everywhere, Man")

She found a way to get the right balance of impact from her job to a whole lot of low-cost travel while maintaining a high level of health as she did.

I dunno about who is any Smart One but she sure pulled a win with that trip.
