Wobbled into to CanTire today to pick up 8 litres of paint, two brushes and a scraper. Reaching the check-out I was greeted with, “hows she goin, eh? Gez yez doen sum paintin eh” - all said in one sentence on the intake of breath.
“No”, says I, “I am building a frigging battleship you great lumbering, inbred, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, slobbering, pathetic dolt.”
(blush) - no, I did not say it - but I did think it. Time to return to an air conditioned room.
You have to try this!

Commended by John W. Philip, Admiral United States Navy, the illustrious Commander of the Battleship Texas in the Naval Engagement at Santiago in which Cervera’s Spanish Fleet was destroyed.
IN all the history of the world there never was a grander period in which to live than the present. Never before was there so much to minister to physical comfort, to healthful recreation. The fruits of all climes, the products of all nations, and the resources of the whole earth were never before laid at the feet of man in such abundance and profusion as now. Good books and inspiring influences were never before so numerous as to-day. Institutions of learning, colleges, universities are all open to rich and poor alike. The same is true also in commercial and professional life. While crowded in their earlier beginnings, yet the highest, noblest and best they have to bestow were never before offered in such abundance as to-day to those who have the physical, intellectual and moral endowment for their attainment. The Church and the State, indeed all the walks and departments of life, are open as never before to young men of brain and brawn; but capacity and power are nevertheless made the indispensable requisites to eminence or even success.
The world has always worshipped strength. The greatness of kingdoms has often been measured by the strength of their armies. The savage and uncivilized tribes chose the tallest and most stalwart for their leaders and kings. Even Saul was chosen King over Israel because’ he stood head and shoulders above all the rest of his fellows. In the United States it is not size or physical prowess, but political strength— strength at the polls—that commends the man for political preferment and place. That the value of physical strength is, nevertheless, being more and more justly prized in this country, is indicated by the increasing amount of time given to the athletic departments in all our institutions of learning, the multiplication of gymnasiums in connection with our Young Men’s Christian Associations, and many other institutions. It is also indicated in the growing favor with which physical culture and all outdoor sports are welcomed and cultivated, and the larger amount of time devoted to croquet, tennis, golf, ball, bicycling and all other forms of outdoor recreation. As a result, men are stronger, have greater powers of physical endurance, live longer, suffer less from sickness, and are able to accomplish more now than in any other period in the world’s history. The man who enters the race for success in either business or professional circles cannot afford to neglect the cultivation of his physical powers. A man without health is handicapped in the beginning. A man with a weak body, other things being equal, lacks the essential leverage.....
The big goof got it right this time.
This is the grandest time of the world in which to live. All departments of life open to young man of brain and brawn. Capacity and power indispensable and requisites. The world has always worshiped strength. Physical development increasingly cultivated. The weak man goes down in life’s fierce struggle. The man without health is handicapped. The physical and indispensable foundation, man’s physical powers surpassed by animals, intellectual and moral natures elevate man above the animals. Highest culture in the development of our threefold nature, injury to anyone impairs the two. Moral nature the first to suffer from vice. The intellect suffers next. No treatise complete complete that ignores the moral or intellectual. God made the higher to rule over the lower. The lower nature must be made subordinate. The moral and intellectual must be made to dominate. The intellectual and the moral nature assigned to their proper places. Enthronement of the moral and intellectual saves and redeems from solitary and social sounds
