6-5-4-3-2-1 Degrees
of Seperation?
The concept of "Six Degrees of Seperation" postulates that everyone is connected to everyone by six degrees of seperation. Years ago the theory was tested with random emails and shown to be correct. Purportedly, the interconnectivity of the internet reduces the level of seperation even further. I wonder?
It makes me ponder the terms themselves... "connection" and "seperation". While it is easier to make "connections" with our technology, I don't see that it fosters greater connectedness.
Would you consider attempting to trace how many degrees of seperation you are from yourself? If the diminished seperation is true, then choosing something (preferably a name) randomly should quickly bring you back to "you". HERE is an example of how a string of connections might look.
If you try this, let us know if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy or cold and stoney.
There is also a game called "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon".
The extra curious might even look into the meaning of an "Erdos number".

Tres Compadres . . .
There’s something about early morning before sunrise . . . there’s a coolness in the summer air, a dampness in the fall and spring air and a Frigid Soul in winter . . . you’re cloaked and unseen, unnoticed . . . private . . . When the sun comes up it injects reality and you become a part of “out there” . . .
All my life . . . growing up, at 6 or 7 we had livestock and I had before sunrise chores . . . flying missions at 19, that pre-dawn cloak, inside-looking-out . . . then with light, the business at hand . . .
In the past few years that pre-dawn addiction replaces a Cobra with my truck . . . strapping in, adjusting my radio, checking the instruments, the fuel, listening to the engine, checking visibility in the mirrors and my load for the day . . . I still have my checklist . . . and off to the business at hand. There’s no sweeter flight than before dawn, or sweeter time to drive on an open highway . . .
Sleepy goodbyes . . . comfy lovers, that stayed where it was warm and just right . . . once, twice . . . three kisses goodbye . . .
I was up earlier and made coffee and checked my rig, and had the truck ready, the running lights on and two thermos’ of hot hot coffee, and almost two hours before sunrise . . .
“Running for the border G?” Karit refilled my coffee cup and handed it to me.
“There’s a certain comfort in that. You’re leaving something behind, setting it aside for now, settle the score later, but going to embrace something else”
“Embrace? Interesting choice of words” Karit caught my eye and raised his eyebrow.
“That must mean that you are an outlaw, G” Luis grew up in El Paso and knows a thing or two about outlaws, running the border and “embracing” on the other side.
“If I am, then with the company you keep . . . mi c-o-m-p-a-d-r-e . . .
“Tres Compadres? I like that. Not Three Amigos. I don’t like that at all . . . Compadres . . . companions . . . There’s no doubt that you two are outlaws though “ Karit was a bit profound for this early in the morning
“G? What does HE mean by that?”
“He means that he’s got culture and refinement”
”I’m not going to forget that Karit”
“Tres Compadres!” Karit held his coffee cup high
“Tres Compadres! . . .” I reached and put in a CD . . .
“Tres Hombres! ZZ Top . . . Time to put a head on it G!”
“Tres Compadres . . . that could be our construction company . . . can we get a logo? Tee shirts with a logo? We need that. I wish we had that now. Tee shirts with logos . . ."
“I have a dozen in the back, if you don’t mind wearing my logo”
“Cool, absolutely. What color G? But we should have a Tres Compadres logo tee shirt too. I mean for again . . . G?”
Karit rolled his eyes . . . "What about a cap? Did you . . ."
"G? You got caps too? We should have caps, with logos . . . How many caps you got? I want to look professional . . ."
G.
P.S. We stopped, topped off the tanks and had breakfast as the sun rose. We crossed the border and the traffic that was headed towards what we left behind. The posse that had followed us so far . . . had to stop . . . at the border . . .
