I will not complain about it being chilly here. But, it is. Still chilly and windy. But, still great. Just not for swimming.
Continuing to ponder my RTW jaunt. While on my walk this morning – an idea – finish off the trip with a transatlantic crossing. But, unfortunately, nothing is going from Europe to the US anywhere near the time that I want to head back. But, hey, it was an idea.
Just having a nice little old lady life out here in the middle of the ocean. Walking, reading, napping, oh and shopping. Went by the thrift shop today. Picked up a t-shirt and a really ugly rain jacket. But every rain jacket is ugly – so – OK.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. H.L. Menchen In Defense of Women (1918)
