Day 4076: Inexplicable

It’s inexplicable to me how I can get so much explicitly positive feedback — at a conference, in my work, on my blog, from my friends, etc. — and still focus on what’s lacking within and around me.

What makes it almost explicable is my theory that our ancestors who survived focused on the negatives, therefore avoiding/outwitting the saber toothed tigers and hostile tribes, while also concentrating on improving any skill defects.

Yesterday, it was inexplicable to me that my Lyft driver told me that you need cash to ride the giant Ferris wheel you’ve been seeing in my photos lately. After we had a long conversation about how inexplicable it was for anything to be cash only these days (especially a tourist attraction), I found out later that the ride has always been credit card only. Inexplicable.

Is there anything inexplicable in my images for today?

It’s inexplicable to me why some of those dates are shaded with purple.
It’s inexplicable how I messed up the Daily Bitch Calendar date in yesterday’s post.

Here’s what I find when I search YouTube for “inexplicable.”

Explicable thanks to all who help me deal with the inexplicable, including YOU.

Day 1590: The inexplicable

Lately, I’ve been encountering lots of human behavior I find inexplicable. Indeed, I’ve been inexplicably signing emails

Confused and confusing,

Ann

If “inexplicable” is inexplicable to you, let’s explain it:

in·ex·pli·ca·ble
ˌinekˈsplikəb(ə)l/
adjective
unable to be explained or accounted for.
“for some inexplicable reason her mind went completely blank”
synonyms: unaccountable, unexplainable, incomprehensible, unfathomable, impenetrable, insoluble.

Actually, when I encounter inexplicable human behavior, my mind CAN go completely blank. That’s why I like to talk to people I love and trust about the inexplicable, to try to make sense of it.

Last night, my inexplicable boyfriend Michael and I walked around our neighborhood, inexplicably talking, talking, talking about politics, murder, greed, cruelty, and other inexplicable inhumanity.  I said to Michael, “We are trying to make the inexplicable splicable.” That got an inexplicably  big laugh out of him.

Are any of my photos from yesterday inexplicable?

Am I letting myself be successful in this post? Or is success itself inexplicable?

Let’s see how inexplicable YouTube can be this morning.

 

Here and now, I am splicably grateful to all who helped me create this inexplicable post and — of course! — to you.
