today i took my parents' dog for a walk. he is scared of semis and farm implements. so whenever he gets wind that a semi or farm implement is coming fore or aft, he immediately runs.
now: luke the collie runs in the same direction (that is, in the direction we were already walking) regardless of the direction whence the semi or farm implement is speeding (or puttering). thus, in his effort to escape from semis and farm implements, luke very often actually ends up running after them.
i suppose this may be somewhat analogous to chasing one's own tail.
or to what happens in my brain when i attempt to speak before 11 a.m.
