Saturday Oct. 1, 2005 - Year 3, Day 194 - après drizzle
+7C, peaceful early morning, dark quiet & damp following rain overnight became drizzle became après drizzle, Gusta drying off now . . .
today, peace & tranquility seem confined to the travel section of the newspaper; while there seems to be no shortage of such strife, disasters, political blunders & scandals locally & all over
Saturday morning is for drinking coffee & figuring out these things; I suppose worrying about whether things are getting better or worse serves no purpose – our best efforts applied to making things better makes a tiny difference which, multiplied by a few billion people, makes a huge bit of difference
surely there are more & more bright people with great credentials than ever in history – so why are they not drawn into leadership roles ? we have the willingness of 6 billion followers, but the calibre of the leaders who are leading seems to have been dumbed down a lot
must run . . off to pick up HK & take him home from the hospital . . . then gone golfing with AW unless rain resumes in which case we’ll opt for brunch
