Pi a number. Very special
number of wish I had the intelligence and the mathematic background
to explain or describe that number which is much more than just its
face value of 3.14… to infinity. I can say Pi's is a super
important number which allows us or our scientific industries to do
all kinds of things again I don't even have the beginning of
intelligence to describe all the uses this number is. What's
interesting to me is that in the last few years maybe decade that the
population who respects science has elected to place pi in its
respective place almost a place of worship is not theological then
scientific so much so that in the United States at least pi has
landed its own day. What fun?
One has to totally admire
the American drive to make money at any cost. I was somewhat amused a
couple years ago when Village Inn began its free pie Pi daycampaign.
I don't remember which came first Pi day or Free Pie Wednesday. Still
free pie is free pie regardless of the way pie is spelled. I did not
check, but I know recently I have written about Village In's free pie
Wednesday which my friend Lori turned me on to I talked about the
Village Inn which is in my neighborhood. The VI is very close Just a
short role from the apartments. Steven Hawking died today. Frankly,
I'm quite surprised at how moved his passing has made me. All of a
sudden, in what seemed a sudden flash, I felt directed to go
participate in Pi space Day/Free Time Wednesday it seemed a suitable
thing to do to honor the passing of this great physicist.
A storm front is rolled
through the great Wasatch front today. Dark clouds even rain mixed
with wind. The rain seemed to be falling intermittently through the
morning. I decided I would take the chance and zip up to the
restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised when upon leaving the
apartment that regardless of the clouds the temperature was quite
warm. I took my heavy hood just the same in case rain did start with
a vengeance. The place was not super busy but busy enough with
seniors and students whom I am sure deserted the school
walkout/Strike ,which happened all across the country today, The
students at the restaurant to date were definitely fringe which is
okay with me. I ordered a coffee and I thought why not order a cup of
soup just so I won't seem right came just to take advantage of the
day in the restaurant. Beef vegetable soup, surprisingly good, I
would've definitely ordered the bowl had I known the soup was going
to be as good as it was. Then it was pie time. I figured I would do
it up right and I ordered ice cream to go with my Apple pie which I
had them nuke. The pie was beautiful, the ice cream okay and the
coffee drinkable. My free pie ended up cost me $7.50 again that's
okay enjoyed the moment and the celebration and the honoring of Dr.
Hawking. May he forever soar in peace.
