Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Tuesday, 2025.07.01 
Security systems fail in one of two ways. They can fail to stop the bad guy, and
they can mistakenly stop the good guy. The TSA likes to measure its success by
looking at the forbidden items they have prevented from being carried onto
aircraft, but that's wrong. Every time the TSA takes a pocketknife from an
innocent person, that's a security failure. It's a false alarm. The system has
prevented access where no prevention was required. This, coupled with the
widespread belief that the bad guys will find a way around the system,
demonstrates what a colossal waste of money it is.

End Of The Storm, End Of The Day

The storm appears to have passed. There are patches of blue sky…

Blue Sky

…the sun shines on the frozen wind chimes, lighting a promise they will sing again…

Chimes IV

…and still, is Buddha…

Winter Buddha IV

Such is Colorado.
