"Logical and rational" is who I am, for at least five minutes every day. The rest of the day I think few would be confused. 
When I read of things like the new iMac Pro, (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/16/imac-pro-geekbench-benchmarks/) , or  a new OLED HDR tv, my magical thinking returns. If I were a political body that had unlimited borrowing power, no idea what trouble I could get into. 

Actually, I think I do fault those who made the application for MUPTE linking the HACSA project and Mr. Obie's. It crossed some sort of a line, though the thought has crossed my mind that if it were to work, maybe in the future builders would be clamoring to work with HACSA,  just so they could get their tax breaks. 
Speaking of logical and rational, I really admire St. Vincent de Paul's hiring of our Eugene Police Chief.
