When my second youngest brother was born, my mother told us older boys that, when this brother had grown up, we would all be driving around in hovercraft. That was in the 1960s, even before Peter made it into 3P. When I looked ahead to the future, I often imagined a society where people had learnt to make good, sensible decisions - no war, no bullying, and a general wisdom that would develop towards things that I personally didn't yet understand. This was before I settled for a place in 3G.
When I look at the world today, I see a lot of intelligent, thinking people BUT I also see too many imbeciles. It does seem that the mother of imbeciles is always pregnant.
THIS WAS A SHORT, ONE THOUGHT POST.

Thanks for that but what are you cooking for dinner?
I guess we won't know since it's past 5PM and old guys like you eat at about 4.30.
Us, you ask?
Lynn is cooking Lamb medallions (somehow as I leave the lamb to her) and I'll be doing roast potatoes and a broccoli and cauliflower bake. Just in case you wanted to know.
Thanks for that. It has been a long day here. After many activities I've just got my Last Post practice done. Actually trumpet practice, I've just discovered, is like a bottle of white wine - you know, how three things can go wrong with a bottle of white wine. With a trumpet you need to get three things right:
1. Angle of the trumpet.
2. Breathing.
3. Placement of lips on the mouthpiece.
It took me 41 years to sort that out. Old age is good!
Not sure what I'm having for dinner yet but this Cleanskin Chardonnay is good!
