			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was thinking today about the ironic nature of human behavior and how it seems to calm in waves. Let me see if I can explain what I&#8217;m talking about. One of the things that I do is raise Yorkeis. And we recently had a litter that was up for adoption. We placed an ad in the paper after we had sold three of the four puppies to people on our waiting list. The ad was in the paper for one day and I got about 25 calls with interest in the puppy. Now, here comes the ironic part.</p>
<p>Not one of those people that called me on that first day made it out to see the puppy. And it was a Sunday. But the next day and here&#8217;s that right part, I had three different women desperately wanting to adopt the puppy. My question is, what made the difference, why is it that 25 people called me on Sunday and no one came out to see the dog but on Monday three people called in all of them desperately wanted to adopt the dog won even without seeing it?</p>
<p>Now do you understand what I&#8217;m getting at. Why is it that we as humans are so patterned in our behavior? It&#8217;s almost as if there&#8217;s some sort of communication going on in the group that&#8217;s not even related that causes them to act in similar ways. There are some people that believe we do indicate over long distances and without physical apparatus. These sorts of things that I just described would lend itself to that theory.</p>
<p>I bet almost everyone that reads this post has had something very similar happened to them. We may she want to stand back and scratch your head and say, why. I even wondered if it had anything to do with the way that I talked to people on Sunday may be there was something in my voice or the words that I chose that caused them not to be interested in the puppy but then on Monday maybe my attitude or words or expressions changed and does it change their reaction to me.</p>
<p>I suppose it&#8217;s one of those things that we will have to take a few more years to investigate someone will have to get a grant to do some research and after a while we&#8217;ll figure it out and say wow what a nice think of that before? What are a lot of things like that in life and usually ends up with some sort of head scratching behavior by those of us that didn&#8217;t think of that before.</p>
