A store of knowledge that the man was hesitant to share.
This flummoxes me. I know he had good reason to be concerned, but what a crying shame that someone with the courage to dream and the brains to seek a way to make the dream come true must contend with the fear and bias of those who'd cause him grief over it. :angry3:
Here's something else that flummoxed me this week:
My wallet was stolen right off my desk at work on Thursday. I was beside myself about identity theft, and the sheer balls it took for someone to do that. That was a foul flummox.:angryfire:
That evening I received a call from a guy who's young boy found my wallet near a shopping mall while he was riding his bike. He hunted me down to make sure it got back to me. That was a fabulous flummox.

I didn't know how to express my thanks - not just for the return of my wallet, but for the repair to my faith in the innate goodness within us all. A box of chocolates, and a thank you card with a token 'reward' inside just seemed such a piddly way to express such a big gratitude.
Guess I was double flummoxed that day. :lol:
