Waging WAR on Ignorance, Intolerance & Injustice!
“I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.” — Douglas Adams
(Hilarious! As a lifelong procrastinator I’ve heard countless deadlines whoosh by me. Once upon a time they’d cause me to stress . . . a bit. But I’ve learned to live with it. After all, time is merely a human construct. It ain’t nuthin’ but a thang! LOL! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“I’d take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.” — Douglas Adams
(Sure. It’s always great when you understand the how and why, but so many things that you don’t understand can be just as awesome. Remember childlike innocence? Uncomplicated awe. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy birthday to John Illsley of Dire Straits!
“To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measure with money, and that is sincerity and integrity.” — Douglas Adams

“If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.” — Douglas Adams
(This guy, Adams, died at age 49 from a heart attack! He must have lived a very hard/wild life, because he looks ancient for 49, to me. I’m 59, pushing 60, and I look at least 10 years younger than he did shortly before he kicked it. I guess I should count my blessings! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
“The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome.” — Douglas Adams
(It most certainly is, folks. And, truth is stranger than fiction. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“It’s nice to think that one could, even here and now, be whisked away just by hitchhiking.” — Douglas Adams

(I used to hitchhike, as a teen. I don’t think I’d recommend it for teens these days. Too many wackos out there nowadays. Fortunately, I didn’t have to rely on showing my legs. I still pick up the occasional hitchhiker though. Much more control of the situation when you’re the decider. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.” — Douglas Adams
(Great quote! Wherever you go . . . there you are! Does anyone remember what 1980’s movie that was from? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

“I’d take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.” — Douglas Adams
(First off, a little confession. I saw the name, Douglas Adams, and I thought: Oh, the guy who draws/writes “Dilbert“! Doh! That’s Scott Adams. This is an interesting quote, but I sensed a tone of sarcasm here, and I saw conflict in the use of “awe”. But likely, that’s due to my personal bias of the word “awe”. I’ve always associated the word more with admiration and wonderment. But, the word can swing all the way to fear and stupefaction. Two words that are synonymous with ignorance in my book. The best way to overcome fear is through understanding. I don’t buy the excuse: “I just don’t like it”, when someone objects to the notion of being ignorant, or fearing something or someone. At the very least we need to practice empathy. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
