So I was telling J. this story about three Duke University students who all by themselves managed to deliver some bottled water, drive to the New Orleans Convention Center, help out there, and drive two carloads of people to Baton Rouge. And we were wondering what if similar individual initiative had been encouraged and put to work on a much bigger scale. Hence the following:
Me (imperiously): "Why wasn't it Dunkirk?"
J: "What?"
Me: "Why wasn't it Dunkirk?"
J: "I don't know, Mr. Spock."
Sorry. Ya laugh or ya cry.
