Three Questions, March 8, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

Today while driving I drove by a 1962 Volkswagen Bug, it was absolutely gorgeous. First one I’ve seen in some time and I forgot how absolutely tiny they are.

What did I learn today?

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in artificial skin, making a hydrogel that has the three most amazing qualities of skin, strength, flexibility and the ability to self-heal. One of the most interesting possible uses is in developing the skin of robots, very cool.

What made me happy today?

At times you have an idea for dinner and throw it together and sometimes it really comes together well, tonight was one of those nights. I made a sandwich with leftover pork tenderloin, coleslaw, a little bbq sauce and pickles and holy moly it was fantastic.
