It was just one of those things. It didn’t really mean Marvin Pincus had lost his mind.

Consider this yourself for a minute. Marvin had opened the mail that morning and in it was the Fenwick glass fly rod he’d ordered. Oh, it was used, of course. But there’s a feel to a Fenwick that only a man dedicated to a life of using dry flies can appreciate.

Certainly our human capacity has yet to reach its limits, but limited it must be. Like computer memory, our own “memory” and computing capacity is finite—even collectively. Just as cattle are incapable of higher-level mathematics (other than “cow-culus”—yuk, yuk), there is a point in which our minds will simply hit a wall. Like a juggler, we’ll only be able to keep so many balls in the air at once.
