It Finally Happened
I went out for a walk and ran into a snake. A live one. It was a few feet long (give or take about 4 ft). Kinda dark green / brown with a yellow shade just past the head.
Being as scared of snakes as I am – I basically turned around and got out of there soon as I could.

Inequality
The conversation has been mostly around economic (income and wealth) inequality – which is significant and probably the most obvious. But probably not any less important are inequalities that prohibit individuals from exercising their freedom. Inequality in the areas of:
- Education, specially higher education
- Basic Services
- Upward Mobility Opportunity – which of course is depended on education and many other factors
