Wind Blows Deeply

I hate summer colds. ‘Nough said.

I’ve been putting it off since I moved (two years ago) but I finally did it. Flowers can now be found on my front steps. Maybe I’ll even get around to getting some pots for the back patio some day!

Today was busy. And like the Energizer bunny, I’ve just got to keep going. I’m am finally done with students for a bit. It was great to have them around for a while but also great to have uninterrupted time. After work was dinner and drinks for our departing resident. Then it was off to a wedding shower for another girl at work. It meant that I finally walked through my front door somewhere close to ten this evening. And, I get to work all weekend. (yay) And, I get to be on call tomorrow night. (yay). Hopefully there’s time for a cup of Tim’s in the morning.

In an effort to induce conversation, I’d offer a penny for your thoughts … probably one of those magic pennies from a recent post. Pick your answer or suggest a different one.
Many people in North America have relatively high levels of wealth in comparison to many other people groups in the world.
1) All people should aim to live within their means, regardless of relative wealth or poverty. Those with relative wealth should assist those in relative poverty.
2) Those with relative wealth should aim to live below or well-below their means. The relative wealth excess should be used to assist those living in relative poverty.
3) Relative wealth and relative poverty are just that: relative. There is no basis for a society to feel morally inclined to assist others based on perceived/actual/relative wealth/poverty indices.

That’s all she wrote folks. With that very first goal I had a sense of where the game was headed. Of course, the Duck’s sixth goal rather finalized things for the Sens. Perhaps I should have stuck with my gut by not rooting for a team with red jerseys, resisting the nationalist approach. There’s always next season … in what, less than four months? in England?
