Are a Jaguar's Spots the Code of Life?
Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was an Argentinean writer with a style that defies categorization. He would write about the collections of non-existent libraries. He would give an elaborate review of a copy of a book as though it was an original text. A reoccurring theme was labyrinths and the potential for discovery within.

We are just 2 weeks removed from Daylight Savings Time as this strategy will resume on March 13, 2022 as majority of the United States as well as certain countries are back on Standard Time for 4 1/2 months. as of March 2021, the uproar of clock changes continue to escalate as majority of America's states are looking into either observe Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time (or DST) on a permanent basis. both of these rules do seem to have both pros and cons, but having independent rules would be damaging as if the states was to choose either rule, the sun will rise a little too early or later.

And the velvety ears, always alert, are waiting to hear a favorite word or two—apples, kisses, belly rubs. Chandra is gorgeous and it’s obvious he knows it; he exudes sangfroid.
