    A popular quote is “Haters are my motivators.” Hopefully that’s the case for Calvin

    And Calvin is a “genius”, in his own mind that is.

    Pretty prosaic for a Calvin snowman.

    What they should marvel at is that you know and understand the meanings of “evanescence”! Not to mention existential concepts!!

    Artistic genius is a matter of opinion, anyway.

    Calvin’s snow sculptures are one of my favorite things about winter… plus, I don’t have to shovel!

    I’ve always wondered…..how does this kid know those big words let alone what they mean when he doesn’t pay attention in school?

    Calvin’s parents must have him enrolled in a Classical School….“Classical education depends on a three-part process of training the mind. The early years of school are spent in absorbing facts, systematically laying the foundations for advanced study.”

    How can it ever be too warm to build a snowman?! – if there is snow on the ground to make the snowman, then it’s by definition not too warm.

    Now, it’s easy to be too cold to build a snowman – if it’s cold enough, the snow doesn’t stick together and all you can do is pile powder up – no definition – no way to mold and shape.

    I prefer sandcastles for my statement of the brevity of life and art. A wave is so much more dramatic.

    Obviously it is NOT too warm to build a snowman. Since he did build a snowman.

    Happy Birthday, Nicolaus Copernicus!

    Thanks for:

    Heliocentrism, (sun-centered solar system).

    The Quantity theory of money, (The more money in circulation, the more expensive goods will be).

    Gresham’s law, (In economics, Gresham’s law is a monetary principle stating that “bad money drives out good”. For example, if there are two forms of commodity money in circulation, which are accepted by law as having similar face value, the more valuable commodity will gradually disappear from circulation.).

    Unrecognized in his time.
