Washington Post did a fun little experiment with virtuoso violinist, Joshua Bell. He played to a sold out theater just a couple days prior to donning a t-shirt and jeans and playing for tips in a subway arcade. I think he made $100 ($20 of it from a person who recognized him and wished to give him more), which is about the cost of a single ticket from the sold out show.
We need to understand why we think it has value I guess. We need some sort of anchor.

And lots of flowers are edible. So there’s a much bigger list of edible flowers

I too want dumb appliances.

I desire for the first two weeks to be able with my own business with the other words and the other things.
