What can I say? Sharing a planet with that man, and others like him, humbles me. RIP.
Me too, Andy. That attempt may be labelled a “failure” by some, but to me it embodies so many of the manly virtues that are under attack today.
I would like to make that journey one day… a solo quest to the South Pole… and I just might – and we should a strive to be a little bit more like this man – he was doing something noble…
Victor, I get the following message when I click on that link:
‘Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.’
I think the code should be http://deringerfiles.blogspot.co.nz/2015/08/i-could-and-i-might.html
And I’ve taken the liberty of altering it in your comment.
Aye, Victor. But nobility – like grace – is all but dead.
That is just a silly list of the options I was contemplating at the time I wrote them – it was not important… but I do seriously think about doing those things… and now a solo trip across Antarctica is on that list.
I know that google puts different addresses for many sites for different countries – and my American links wont work in other places – not sure why, but there was no problem before… or it could be that ghost in the machine some call the ‘*******’ – when websites look different on different computers from different places.
very, very interesting – I just conducted a little experiment on your site… the above reply would not go through until I replaced the letters of the word in quotes with ‘*’… strange but interesting… it might be real.
Very odd, Victor. Were the letters anything in particular? I’ve not come across anything like it.
holonet
it went through – wont go through in quotes…
I’m stumped.
I hope he had children. There could be some good genes there.
There surely could be!
A unique individual of quality
Thank God not everyone is like him.
Otherwise, who would there be left to ask if I want fries with my burger?
raise a glass to a fine, brave gentleman.
