Leaves from the mental portfolio of a Eurasian (1890)

Technology and time removed frontiers, people used to be tribes, then burgs, then kingdoms, nations, USofX. Soon the notion of native, race and country may be very very blurry.

Apropos of nothing much, sometimes, when I visit friends who are now married (to people from very similar genetic backgrounds) and have children, I look at them and their spouse and their children and how eerily similar they all look, and it creeps me out a little. Feels like some kind of repressed incest vibe.

Not often, but sometimes. It creeps up on me. I generally do not say this out loud :)
