Baboons & Crowdsourcing
By Jack Brummet. Homo sapien and Ape Ed.
Bill Clinton says in six figure speeches that we all need to work together like “the great [naturally] cooperating species ants, termites, bees, and people.”
University of California/Davis researchers would add baboons to the list. They tracked a troop to see how they decided to go one way instead of another, and discovered that, rather than rely on an alpha male or the head silverback, they navigated by popular opinion..e.g., they crowdsourced the right direction.

My good friend Francis recently saw this great sign in the town, affectionately known as Goofport (a/k/a Gulfport, Florida, where his second house is located. I love it. The sign points to some guy's house along the street.

Drawing: Faces #1138 - The Red [Value Village] Plane
By Jack Brummet
[Pencil, Sharpie ® Fine, Sharpie ® Extra Fine, and scribe on an old crudely painted red airplane from Value Village. Roughly 1' x 1'. I think the plane was probably sold as "decor" at somewhere like Cost Plus/Pier 1 as a reproduction of an old toy. It may actually be old, but it feels like it was deliberately distressed and "aged."]
