“It’s hard to be brave,” said Piglet, “when you’re only a Very Small Animal.”
Rabbit said: “It is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us.”
Piglet was so excited at the idea of being Useful that he forgot to be frightened. ~A.A.Milne

The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.

"Lying in bed with the lights out, I had to remind myself that the dragon was only a bedtime story one, not a real one. I had to reassure myself that all was safe by staring at the little orange strip of light that ran along the bottom of the door." ~C.R.Milne #hope #LookForLight

“We came to see how your house was, Eeyore,” said Piglet. “Look, it’s still standing!”
“I know,” said Eeyore. “Very odd. Somebody ought to have come down and pushed it over.”
“We wondered whether the wind would blow it down.”
“Ah, that’s why nobody’s bothered.” ~A.A.Milne #storm

Pooh had wandered into the Hundred Acre Wood, and was standing in front of what had once been Owl’s House. It didn’t look at all like a house now; it looked like a tree which had been blown down; and as soon as a house looks like that, it is time to find another one. ~A.A.Milne

The Milky Way over the Badwater Basin

[A.A.Milne @A_AMilne]

The wind was against them now, and Piglet’s ears streamed behind him like banners as he fought his way along, and it seemed hours before he got into the shelter of the Hundred Acre Wood, to listen, nervously, to the roaring Gale among the tree-tops. ~A.A.Milne #StormEunice

@nntaleb You missed Shostakovich big time! Rachmaninov is pop music.

Your regular reminder that a 'mumpsimus' (16th century) is someone who insists that they are right despite clear evidence that they are not.

Some dictionary smiles for a dreich day:

shivviness: the uncomfy feeling of new underwear.
tartle: to hesitate in introducing someone because you've forgotten their name.

Rabbit sat down on the ground next to Pooh, and, feeling much less important like that, stood up again.
“What does Christopher Robin do in the morning now? Can you tell me anything you’ve seen him do?”
“Yes,” said Pooh. “We had breakfast together yesterday.” ~A.A.Milne #HalfTerm
