Sweet potato pie, pinapple, sour cream, parsley, coffee and basil. A beautiful summer morning.
A meme, courtesy of Wikipedia, consists of any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that gets transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, practices, habits, songs, dances and moods. Memes propagate themselves and can move through a "culture" in a manner similar to the behavior of a virus. A meme revealed itself recently when two people were folding an american flag. It started like any two people folding a bed sheet in perfect synchrony (another meme!) when one guy insisted on folding the flag longways in triangles. A third guy came along and emphasized that there is only one proper way to fold an american flag. What a strong meme! I am beginning to see memes everywhere.
