Today I finished the second book in the Hitchhiker series; The Restaurant at the end of the Universe.
Being a dilettante at etymology and linguistics myself I have no choice but to conform to Adams who says, “The major problem of time travel is that of grammar”. Yes I will be unequivocal, it is going to be.
Consider this when Arthur and Ford are 2 million years into the Earth’s past in what would be
“It’s where I was born” – Arthur
“Was?”- Ford
“All right, will be!” – Arthur.
Douglas Adams slings pointed questions at the fatuousness of man.
Man and his pre-occupation with his ego are dealt with comedy! The total perspective Vortex for example and how Zaphod survives it (by chance)!
There are far greater intoxicants than alcohol and still pleasurable ones.
Music, books, work et al.
And some like tea (intoxicating eh!!, hmm try seven glasses a day) are even stimulating unlike alcohol which is devitalizing.
Had visited Sita chechis’ and Abcs’ with cecil today. And before having wine at both these places, I ensured its home made and alcohol free. Hmm like I said I have far greater and saner intoxicants. So much for life!
