The Inexhaustible Resource

 

It began in 3042, when Milo Hempel, age 12, was making his school project and decided to manufacture products out of bits of universe.   No matter what he made, his biggest obstacle was preventing whatever he made from expanding.  From the simplest drink coaster to sections of parking lot, even after they were cut, formed and sprayed with preservatives, they continued to grow and expand outward.  It was the modification of his preservative that won him the Noble Prize and propelled him into the pages of history. 

 As it turns out, this is one of those thoughts that has a life of its own.  Not unlike the universe, it too expands and grows the more you think about the possibilities.  I awoke with it this morning and wrote down the above paragraph, but the more I considered the idea of making things out of pieces of universe, the more I became overwhelmed with even the simplest tidbit.

It was all too much to consider before coffee, so I stopped and am now over at the coffee pot waiting, as it drips into my mug.  I'll be back shortly, go on to something else for now.
