A veritable study of circles made oval here. Of human perception of circles through ovals that suggest circularity based on … context. Or something.
And circles, I must say, are darn useful in Polo. Virtually everything is circle-driven. A bike is really just a greased up collection of circles with some welds and bearings bearings thrown in for movement’s sake. A polo mallet is just an extruded circle, bolted (with a circular bolt) to another tube, often with circular cut-outs for pi-calculable weight savings. And it’s all about a ball (sphere). Hell, half the letters in “polo” are themselves circles.”
I nearly concluded that humans are circle free in their biologic structure until I considered the eye’s… cornea? Whatever that clear part is. And now I suppose hairs and pores are circulish. The occasional mole might grow into something a high-school math teacher defined as “an infinite number of points equidistant from a locus… or …” (…’s mine. I’m forgetting how correctly to use the word “locus”). What I’m hinting at is, not surprisingly, but very inelegantly, the word “circle.”
Polocus.
