Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox. ~ Proverbs 14:4

So I will use a logical notation in what follows… just for fun … just to be quirky.

A ⊕ B is A XOR B is A exclusive or B.

Exclusive or basically means one or the other, but not both. So I propose that up above we have a situation where you have:

Either a clean manger or abundant crops but not both.

I.e.

Clean Manger XOR Abundant Crops

So you either have a clean manger and no crops.
Or you have abundant crops and a dirty manger.

Clean Manger ⊕ Abundant Crops

Which will you choose?

And . . . of course, sandwiched between these two is an ox along with some dung!

~ I am back to add one more thing. Right now I am preparing for a certification exam. I am running things by AI to clarify my thinking. I also am printing out a lot of things. In the middle of all this, I find in myself a tendency to be anal about certain things (e.g. the table or figure in my word document has to be positioned just right). The problem with this anal behavior is that it is time consuming.

So??? Accept a little bit of a mess en route to a good clean goal.
