A minor lesson in humility.

A minor lesson in humility.

I am smarter than your average bear. In fact, actually, I know a lot. And I know that I know a lot. So I concede that, from time to time, I might suffer from a swelled head. Sometimes I even have problems fitting it through doorways if I feel I've displayed an especially impressive string of word and ideas.

And then, sometimes, I realize I am not, in fact, "all that." Like this morning, when I'm reading an article about forest fires and looked at a map, only to realize that Idaho is not next door to Iowa, even though for some reason, when not actually looking at a map, I always mentally picture it to be.
