Ever have one of those days where life just leads you where you want to go? Or at least part of where you want to go. That’s another way of saying I multi-tasked the morning away.

The afternoon has arrived before I was ready for it to get here once again. It’s funny how that stuff seems to happen.

Not funny haha all the time mind you, but funny something at least to say.

Do you all grow tired of examples, or is it just me? You can write something short and to the point and then you’re told the lack of details is appalling. “Bob, can you give me some examples or at least one?” NO sir, I cannot. I guess there won’t be a Pulitzer in my future, but perhaps a nice dinner invitation might provide solace. Or is it solstice? No, that’s in December. What a fool I can be like. No “like” here; I may just be the definition of fool as in What a fool I can be!

So, what if you don’t have any examples of something? It’s like you just know something and then it becomes questionable (what you or I know) because examples are requested.

No two scenarios are ever exactly the same, so what good are examples anyway?  They are just something that can additionally be criticized by an editor or group of them due to examples’ glaring and many inadequacies.

I wonder how examples were created as something to provide.

What we would do without examples?

Would the world be better off without them?

Would anyone care if they ceased to exist?

AI can handle content without examples. I think it’s partly why it’s given a pass when some of the content has examples that are factually incorrect.

“The thing is, Bob, there is so much detail that AI can muster that it’s bound to happen (AI is wrong), every once in a while.

So, my details are probably not as detailed as my critics and I would like.

Skelley just rambles these days.

AI can’t ramble like I do.

I can drop a lot of endless rambles.

My rambles don’t usually stop unless someone shouts at me to stop.

That’s just rude.

Examples can be rambling by virtue of the fact the world would be just fine without either.

Rambling examples can easily cross over the line that draws from details.

Examples are details when you think of it.

Newswriting probably wouldn’t be the same without examples or details.

Newswriting ceased to exist a long time ago, so I need a better example of what I’m talking about.

This gets more rambling the more I try to stay within myself.

Don’t try to do too much.

I love that one.

Like the times after a ballplayer says after they hit a home run, “I wasn’t trying to do too much. I just was trying to make contact.”

Like NFL sideline reporters speaking with coaches before half time and they can see the coach’s veins beginning to bulge in their necks while trying to be polite and answer the question.

“I think we’re trying to do too much. We don’t need to press. We just need to point to some examples of what we can do to stop their offense. It’s not that difficult. Too many guys are rambling on and off the field. But if we can limit the examples of letting our foot off the accelerator, we could easily storm back in the second half. When we blocked that punt just before the half, it was an example of our grit.”

Thanks coach.

Thanks Bob.
