Killing People!

Good write Gold.
In my \'rant\' recently, I covered another aspect - asking for huge money appeals, especially at this time. And for what? A few bricks? How does that help people here and now?!
I could have made a money pledge last time (a million appeal, of course). Oh no, not short term. For 3 or 5 years! But I was later redundant. I would have been in a big fix.
I don\'t condemn charities, etc for asking though.

I love \'Ole Man River, but have up until now never heard it without Paul Robeson (a hero).
It was, however great to hear the music given its due by two fine artists.
Re your Special Face Mask Situation - You have to do something about the beak, mate - it must stick out like....... Well anyway, what\'s the solution? ..Amputation perhaps?
Regards, Dave

Good one Andy! I guess since she recognized you, robbing a bank with that mask on would be a no-no.

US readers won\'t know the word \"chemist\" in this sense, British usage for what we call a pharmacist or (informally) a druggist. In US usage a chemist is a scientist who does chemistry.

Kept Away?
FredPeyer said:
We live in troubled times Andy. I don\'t want to visit anybody, I don\'t want anybody to visit me. I know I am lucky, still have my wife, so it is just the two of us for this Holiday Season. Turkey is out, don\'t think there is a turkey for two. Maybe a little hen, or what the heck, two sausages.

A sad but well written message here Andy.
The tiers divide us, and in this case, so does age, but in my opinion, we are all in the same boat in this horrible pandemic storm.
Bravo again, and please do take care.

worth waiting for that meaningful reveal at the end, a thought provoking take on a topic that effects each of us so differently, and yet has us sharing the same apprehension...

Why on earth do they have tiers - it causes so much confusion and discord - for goodness sake a set of rules across the entire country if we are serious about getting the numbers down. So many wimps out there - bite the bullet.

Changing the Ending.
L. B. Mek said:
a wonderful combination between the video and your words to reinforce a very straightforward but vital message, reminds me (if a little dramatically) of Dylan Thomas and his:
\'Do no go gentle into that good night\'
\'rage, rage against the dying of the light\',
while Dylan was speaking to his ailing father and our general willingness to accept the escape offered by death,
I think his words can be interpreted in line with your message: where even if we hold-on and merely find out we can impact our fates - at the very end,
maybe it\'s worth investing in a little hope and sprouting what feeble \'fighting spirit\' we can muster and try to give a good accounting of ourselves in this brief breaths of a life, we inevitable tend to take for granted...
a thought provoking write Andy, thank you for inspiring my little reply scribble
