On the importance of tests...
"As a society we don’t test because we don’t want to know. We put the ball on a tee to be certain of a hit. Participation earns a trophy. Podiums have five steps. There is no penalty for losing.
This, when virtually every coach and player and thinker agree that losing teaches the lessons; while winning results from having learned (and applied) those lessons. Without tests or boundaries how is one supposed to grow? When everyone is a winner who is left to learn the lessons?
Conscious rejection of objective measuring sticks and periodic tests suggests the decline and fall of mankind. Today we’re a species of pretenders, and wanna-bees, and (in this country) obesity.
I say bring on the killer cockroaches and whoever survives can start this party over."

Take today and rest.
However, if you are behind, or feel up to it, knock out another test.
Just remember...
"The Shop Chipper" is due back tomorrow from it's road trip. Just in time to bring the darkness back to The Shop and take it's place as the timed circuit portion of "The Shop 10".
