Well indeed, virtue is it's own reward, the chief manifestation is that smug feeling you get. Oh if only everyone were as honest and concerned as I am, well it would be much better world. (Sigh).
A lesser, but still substantial, reward is being able to look down your noses at others who would likely not have been so Honest Abe-like, would not have delayed getting on with their life by turning around a half a block from the store, and it was raining, well misting, but still. And maybe they would be a little happy to get that unexpected little bonus of twenty bucks to buy some little bauble for themselves. Tsk, tsk.
Of course, I don't know that, I am possibly judging my fellow man too harshly, but maybe I can afford myself a little dishonesty after walking that block and a half back back and then retracing my path, which would make it three blocks total, and all through that heavy mist.
And time zones on the moon sounds kind of crazy because we get our day and its hours from the rotation of the Earth, but the moon does not rotate at all, keeping that one side always facing the Earth, so that it is always high noon in the center of the huge crater of Copernicus.
Just heard from the radio that today is Casimir Pulaski day. One of the great boons of working for the state of Illinois was getting Casimir Pulaski day off, but I think they have changed that now City workers still get the day off, but not state workers. Of course none of us retirees get holidays anymore. We will have to think of another way to celebrate this great man.
