‘And I’m caught one more time up on……..’

21/6/2019.   Edward Snowden. (36)

Our days pass as fast

as the water of the river

or the wind of the desert.

But there are two days that

do not interest me:  yesterday 

and tomorrow.

Tr: Edward Fitzgerald.

‘ When one subtracts from life infancy (which is vegetation) , sleep , eating and swilling , buttoning and unbuttoning – how much remains of downright existence?  The summer of a dormouse.’

Wonder if they play crib?

Google it!

Stephen King refers to cribbage players as the ‘initiated’.

Chinese in the dark about many things.

Unfair…. when we were in school we were taught that the British Empire was a ‘ civilising ‘ influence… but it was based on slavery…amongst other things.

Not to mention being the biggest drugs cartel the world has seen… invaded China to allow its Opium barons free access to the Chinese people.

The things we were told….. and believed!

I thought the Pope was actually sent by God…. he wasn’t human!

Sadly only too human… judging by the illegitimate offspring that resulted!

I believed that babies came out of a woman’s bellybutton!

I never did figure out why men have  nipples?

Google it!
