Canada, land of the damned

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2000.12.19

Read a charming story about a 54-year-old woman in Ottawa. She fell into a snowbank at a busy intersection, and was too weak - thanks to some recent surgery - to get up. She froze to death, at some point over the three days she spent in that snowbank. No one seemed to notice.

What an accomplishment, this mobile, self-congratulatory society we've built.

Well, someone once told me that life is divided in three parts: at first, you have time and inclination but lack money. Then, you have money and inclination but lack time. Finally, you have money and time but lack inclination. :-)
