Oil’s not well

When I was a boy, I loved Australia’s new Chadstone Shopping Center. It was the very first modern shopping center in the southern hemisphere. And better than pretty-well everything else was the Downyflake Donut Shop. The donut machine stood in the window. Embryonic donuts danced and grew in the hot oil as they meandered through the stainless-steel maze. That little food processor amused me for hours. It promised a future of limitless possibilities … a future that I couldn’t wait to grow up in, and be a part of.

On the wall near the machine a laconic jester stood with donut in hand and these prophetic words: As you ramble on through life, brother,
Whatever be your goal,
Keep your eye upon the donut,
And not upon the hole.
