Towel Day

Day 225: Douglas Adams cagily imparted a lot of good advice to those who read HHGTTG carefully, but I find these words from Slartibartfast particularly and personally apt in these current times: "Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied." Know where your towel is. Don't panic. And from another quarter entirely, wear the lilac. (Oddly and without any plan for it to happen that way, I just finished reading "Night Watch").

Towel Day 2024

Day 225: Slartibartfast pretty much summed up my life philosophy when he said, "Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied." Happy Towel Day, fellow travellers! Something tells me the ride is going to get bumpier for a while, so be sure you have your towel, and don't panic. And remember, the answer to the Ultimate Question of life, the universe and everything is out there, even if it is wrong. (background image courtesy of NASA)
