Danger!

Wind took out the power last night, leaving me in the light of a
candle and an oil lamp. Later a lightening strike took out the water
pump. It's good to be reminded of the things anyone able to read this
blog probably takes for granted.

Some of my readers live in danger of huge bush fires, others are in
earthquake or tsunami zones. My dad watches for hurricanes and my
brother for blizzards. Volcanos shaped, and could reshape New Zealand.

I think the greatest dangers lie in complacency, ingratitude, and
entitlement.
