Sorry, I need to get something off my chest:

Thirteen billion light-years away, there is an electron. Like all electrons, its mass is minuscule and its gravity undetectable by human senses. But across all that distance, it's pulling on you right now.

The interconnectedness of all things is not just a punchline.

If I’m going to be a sickly invalid, I want laudanum. And a trip to the seaside where someone will push me around in a fancy wheelchair. Then more laudanum.

Agreed. During the recent eye irritation month of annoyance I suggested repeatedly that what I really needed was sedation, but no one listened and kept giving eye drops and steroids instead. Boo.

Chrismg, I cannot disagree with that reality.
