Still Crazy?
I'm hearing some concern that the last post suggests/indicates/confirms that I have lost it.
Nope. It's all about phonetics and memory. We remember sounds better than thoughts. It's why tunes stick in your head but slogans don't. The post was a tribute to a phonetically-based memory that is some 50 years old.
Another example - I think this is all part of the same mental mechanics - as I leave the parking lot I nearly always wonder if I've locked the car. If I did so with a beep or a honk I am certain that I did - I remember the sound. If not, less certain. I think it's harder to remember an action than a noise. Definitely in the short term, and who knows, maybe for 50 years.
