I am retired. Although my professional duties covered a wide spectrum of applicable functions, of which analysis and theorem were crucial and often performed on a daily basis, criminal investigations -investigator and command, crime scene processing and forensics, and evidence technician were the primary roles I fulfilled.

I am conditioned to look at all six sides of a cube and try to find a seventh. Additionally, unless what I see or read is registered in my brain as an indisputable fact, I rarely take anything at face value. I am helpless in avoiding picking at something that raises a question until the question is satisfactorily answered and the facts, or near facts, are established.

However, in the end, common sense and awareness of what is realistic and what is practical is my usual guide.

Now you know why I can be a PITA (pain in the ass). I cannot help it. Also, hunting with two nephews, one a mechanical engineer and one an engineer and pilot, and having a long-time large animal vet for a close friend, is not good for my problem.

PS: Speaking of a cube having six sides, should not the edges also be considered.
