This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety

This is the best laugh I've had all week! p....u!
Thanks Deryn for several things.
First, in my shuffling things around your wonderful blogsite got lost. I am reminded to find it.
Second, I'm glad to be of service in the amusement department, but the more I think about it, it is not all negative. I still remember the whoosh of reality striking me as a child when accompanying my grandfather on his manure spreader. I asked him what he was going to plant in the field he was so carefully fertilizing. He said sweet corn.
It seems to me that our governments always overdo things because they can't help it. They are like gigantic battleships with no small guns, only big ones. But part of the mess may be good or at least useful. We hope.
