Personally, I would want something little roomier than a campervan, meself. Although it is substantially more spacious than a VW.

Salad, or Phoning Home.



Am I going to the shop? [on the way home]

Why?

Well, have you decided about dinner?

I thought you wanted salad?

Yes, but are you doing the chicken?

I suppose I could do the chicken.

Well, its chicken salad. Should I go to the shop?

Oh. Well, there should be half a packet of the chips left upstairs.

No.

No?

I ate them.

You ate them?

You ate the other packet.

Well!

Do you want me to go to the shop?

No, there's no point just for chips.

Argh.

Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it ...

The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest [we] become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century:
Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others;
Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected;
Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it;
Refusing to set aside trivial preferences;
Neglecting development and refinement of the mind;
Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

A room without books is like a body without a soul.



Cicero, 2000 years ago. Or so.
