fortune cookies

I got a fortune cookie slip of paper (twice!) that read:

All progress occurs because people dare to be different

Fortunes from Beijing Noodle in Fort Collins, Colorado, December 22, 2025

Fortunes from the local strip mall Chinese/Thai joint, from a takeout order on December 5, 2025.

I got two terrible fortunes at The Imperial Chinese restaurant in Denver Colorado.

Fortunes from the local strip mall chinese/thai joint.

Got some more takeout from the local strip mall Chinese/Thai place.

Got a couple of dumb fortunes from the local strip mall Chinese/Thai joint.

Another fortune from the local strip mall Chinese restaurant.

The results of two more dinners from the local strip-mall Chinese joint: surprisingly good beef-and-broccoli, the opposite of fortunes in my cookies.

Got these fortunes the last time I picked up chinese food at the local strip mall.
