The Last Sapien | pincher and slicer

The Pincher and the Slicer |

In the Jewish tradition there is the Friday evening reception of Saturday by serving a Chala bread. It has a unique shape of braided dough, so it is easy to hold the crust and pull a piece without the need to slice it.

This goes fine if you are a free spirit, but is a crime of the century if you are educated by a strict German manners where bread is being sliced with a bread knife.

When you have both sitting at the same table it becomes a cultural dispute over a piece of bread . . .

On my long haul runs on the back roads running through the towns of Concord and Lincoln I hear the whooshes of flocks of bicycle riders passing by, then there are some slow whooshers, the heavy weight big belly ones that dare fitting themselves in a tight riders' attire.

We all want to keep healthy, starting with our minds moving to our hearts and the rest would follow. Yeah, we like to keep it tight too, though until we get there stretching Lycra on a large body will not do any (hmmm... visual) favor to any.

The Pinchers like the slow whooshers do not care as if we are all in it just without the social distancing, "if you have a problem with it - this problem is yours" sort of approach, which by large is true.

And then, there are the slicers whom keep it tight, they believe in order and aesthetics, no crumb is going to escape the table, no body part will stand out and wobble.

You could also tell whom has pinched hard the day before or sliced conscientiously a measured amount of tempting carbs/pleasure.

Keep pushing hard on them hills, it will keep a healthy heart and healthy mind regardless of how fit your whooshings and your posture are. Genießen would say the slicer. . . not sure how you can "enjoy" that.
