Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 29, 2021

If everything is good in moderation. I need to find where it is, so that I may move there.

It’s simple, just push it to the edge. If you fall over the cliff, you know you’ve gone too far.

Two best takeaways today: “enough is enough” and “a little too far”.

Easy: When the effort outweighs the benefit.

Elvis and prescription pharmaceuticals.

Both these characters have a form of addiction/compulsion (caffeine/endorphins) and both are likely to suffer the consequences in their later years.

Now, that’s the “scienterrific” method!

I used to run every day, six miles. I would try to break 30 minutes every day. After age 40 or so, I changed to running 3 miles a day and a 3 mile walk home five days a week. Skip Saturday and run 6 miles on Sunday – under 33 minutes.

When I returned from my last deployment – when I could; I would walk 30 minutes, and distance didn’t matter, or jog maybe 20. Just do what you can, but really do it.

It takes dynamite to get me up

Too much of everything is just enough

One more thing that I gotta say

I need a miracle every day

“Mom, when I grow up, I wanna be an excess expert. What classes should I take?”

“All of them, Honey. May as well start now.”

“I need dynamite to get me off/Too much of everything is just enough”: Grateful Dead

“Remember, psychedelic drugs are a one-way ticket to nowhere. So always take two, to make sure you can get back.”: Peter Bobb

“Moderation can ruin anything.”: Me

So Mr. Principal, do you tell kids not to use drugs? Coffee is a drug.

Ambrose Bierce’s “The Devil’s Dictionary” defines Enough, All there is in the world if you like it.

Enoch is Enoch and Elk Point is Elk Point.

When are the Barbasol suds going to get removed from the brown dude’s face and head?

For medications adding more is dangerous and can change the drug’s effects without a physician’s order.
