The probate interview finally came through. Next Thursday I shall have to present myself to the authorities and try to convince them that I am a proper person, and honest and reliable enough to be executor of my Father's will.
For a change, I will not begin the interview by listing all my sins and all my faults - sometimes there may be advantages in departing from ingrained behaviour. It is not necessary that my interviewers laugh, nor do I have to put them at their ease. Oh well, at least I can take refuge in forms and paper.

I'm now of the opinion that England (not the UK as a whole) is a nation of two cultures.
One is educated, polite, and open-minded.
One is drunken, rude, lacking education, and narrow minded.
Of course the two sets intersect, but I find myself in a grouping that doesn't.
Damn the ignorant. Damn their stupidity. Damn their crassness. Damn their racism.
Damn them, damn them, damn them.

A day pilloried in the stocks wouldn't do some of these folk any harm (as long as nothing hard or sharp was thrown at them).
Humiliation is a great aid to learning, which as a young man I found to my cost (and shame).

I am coming to believe that the US as a whole is starting to splinter into a few different crosssections broken along several lines: Value of education, physical location(rual vs city), and some splitting around a religious/non-religious worldview which I havn't deduced the fault of yet.
