   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.

   I hope he had children. There could be some good genes there.

     There surely could be!

   Thank God not everyone is like him.
   Otherwise, who would there be left to ask if I want fries with my burger?
