Steady progress
Took about an hour and a half for the red light to go out on my freezer last night once power was restored, so the contents couldn't have thawed much. I doubt I'll die of food poisoning. The p and d tightened the loose connection in the socket this morning. I shall be glad when I can use the sitting room again; when I can switch on the telly without thoughts of electrocution.
A comment after my entry on Monday (greetings Simplelsie) said: ' ... human beings are supposedly programmed to care for human young ...'. Well, I'm not sure about that. We might start off programmed to care for the young but, by the time we reach adulthood, we are conditioned to care for ourselves. At least, some of us are. Some ignore the weak, and that includes women as much as kids.
Daft story I heard yesterday: the Ripon annual pancake race held for the last 600 years on Shrove Tuesday (yesterday) was cancelled because of, wait for it, health and safety!
Thought for today
Here then is the origin and rise of government; namely, a mode rendered necessary by the inability of moral vitue to govern the world; here too is the design and end of government, viz. freedom and security.
Thomas Paine 1776
