The "five...That's pretty intriguing, Jack. The "five" idea is, at base, still more of a totality than a progression...but I have come to realize that there are hidden "progressions" in all sorts of them (one moves from the eastern mountain to the southern...and then on to central, western, and northern, before starting over). That sounds a lot like what you have just done. Truly, you have gotten me thinking of a new dimension to emphasize. It has to be about "becoming the next thing," as I have emphasized in the links. Breakfast, lunch...fits beautifully.

Would this be the kind of intellectual weaving I need to do with these lists of 5? That's the best my brain's got at the moment for understanding how one category melds into the next.Jack Vishneskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01765764999161103590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263183685364131312.post-46610669391370888602013-06-23T01:44:20.698-05:002013-06-23T01:44:20.698-05:00Oh, and Todd...negotiating the fast food world (be...Oh, and Todd...negotiating the fast food world (being on the Interstate, for example) from a vegetarian perspective must be bewildering.
