The Camino is full?

[henrythedog]

Notwithstanding that it is (or has recently been) one of the peak times for Peregrinos on the Frances; there is considerable danger in extrapolating from limited information; whether it’s your personal experience or not.

Three professors of logic travel by train to a conference. They compete to show their mastery of the art of observation.

They see a brown cow in a field by the side of the rail track.

1. ‘There are brown cows here’

2. ‘ There is at least one brown cow here’

3. ‘There is at least one cow here which is brown on at least one side’.

4. 'This place is clearly littered with brown cows!'

Reminds me, happily and freshly, of a course I took some years ago online - Rational and Critical thinking. From a university in the Anitpodes. Straw people. Thank God I grew up with a pencil, and eraser, and stiff teaching with mental arithmetic.
nb. I might be misremembering. Don't you love the modern propensity for turning everything to your advantage? Nothing is wrong now. (Loud voice: oh yes it is)
Thanks for the laugh, dear Henry. Have a great day. Watch out for the holes in the bucket.
Seriously, may all those for whom this special day in UK is one to be treasured make the most of it.

Thank goodness for brown cows! They provide chocolate milk!

There was, at the date and time that I observed that particular field, at least one cow which was brown on at least one side.

Aww! I didn't know that, but it is so logical! I guess, then, that the black and white cows provide the café con leche.

 

[Pafayac]

I have never seen a brown cow walking on the Camino.

 

[Vacajoe]

I’ve never seen a brown cow,
Someday I hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I’d rather see one than be one.

A take-off of a Shel Silverstein poem I was required to memorize at school 50 years ago(!) and have never forgotten!

 

[Brian&Deb J.]

That poor brown cow standing forlornly in a field. Obviously couldn't get a room, should have booked ahead

 

[NorthernLight]

I have never seen a brown cow walking on the Camino.

Have you stood for a long time in the field waiting for one to walk by?

 

[bubba]

How now brown cow? They live in the NOW!
Not in the future or the past.

Not by Shel Silverstein - in fact it was written by Gelett Burgess well before Shel Silverstein was born.

I have seen MANY brown cows on the path of the Camino!

 

[trecile]

I have seen MANY brown cows on the path of the Camino!

And white ones too!

 

[mattythedog]

I have never seen a brown cow walking on the Camino.

I have seen many brown cows on the Camino every time. Literally. It’s the purple ones that are rare

 

[David Tallan]

There was, at the date and time that I observed that particular field, at least one cow which was brown on at least one side.

There appeared to be, at the date and time that I observed that particular field, at least one cow which was brown on at least one side, unless, of course, I misidentified what I was seeing or its colour or was otherwise mistaken in my observation.

Just walk on the Frances into Galicia.

If you will permit me to take a tangential route . . . the Camino can never be full as there can never be too many pilgrims even if there is no lodging and it is pouring cats and dogs. The Camino is limitless even if there is no lodging, no food, and even insufficient water. The spiritual aspect of the Camino far outweigh any physical/material concerns, at least to my way of thinking.

I think Y’all have partaken of a bit too much vino tinto

A perfect example of how observations can be in error. I haven't partaken any vino tinto in months.

If I saw so many onesided brown cows, I’d quit drinkin’ too!

 

[Bradypus]

There are no brown cows. All Spanish bovines are black, flat and 14 metres tall. And male. A load of bull.

 

[Former member 92300]

There are brown cows on the Camino?


A specialty milkshake in the US!

 

[Yoyo]

I have seen many brown cows on the Camino every time. Literally. It’s the purple ones that are rare

But every now and then, if you are lucky, you get to see one.

 

[MaxHelado]

I do not wish to reserve a brown cow but I believe one should be available to me in every town

Curse you my pre-school teacher!!!! Funny, for 50 years I’ve remembered the poem but misremembered the author! Thanks for teaching me something new today!

And moo'ved more quickly!

Slim.

Herd of brown cows needed for Cola Coa.

Brown on at least one side, certainly.
