2 : having full use of one's faculties : SANE
3 : clear to the understanding : INTELLIGIBLE
This being my first post I thought I should explain a little on why I have called the site "The Lucid developer". Through out my professional career I have found that there are times that after a trial or struggle you have those moments of clarity, those "Ah ha" moments. This is about those. Most of them will be taken straight from the work place, but as a father of two perfect little children you will find that I have some incites into the life of a father. Now by no means do I feel I know what I am doing. I am just struggling through each day like the rest of you.
I have recently returned home from a trip to Seattle. On the ride home some very amazing things happened. I had on of those moments you can never understand utill your a dad. On the ride we where lucky to have the chance of running into the stupidest bunch of birds I have ever seen. As we approached them traveling at hight speeds I thought to my self. "Self, how come those pigeons up there on the road don't fly away." We got closer and closer until we had passed them. Had those birds not delayed to get there last few specks of what ever was on the road then I think they might still to this day be flying around. But low and behold they have become permanent fixtures in our mind of how the death of a bird can happen. Those silly birds made it about a foot off the ground before there little lives ended. Now I don't want to gross you out with detail. I may have gone on to long as it is. but lets say that when we arrived at the next gas station a careful examination of the grill of the car found that we had some deceased passengers. Now I have painted this picture to illustrate that moment. Not the one where I cleaned them out. But the one where I got back into the car and realized that when things happen dads jump in both feet and do what dads do. I didn't even think about what I was doing. Had it happen before I became a dad I think it might have bothered me, but not this time.
To the dads everywhere thanks for all the crap jobs you have done over the years.
