Dusk

i had such grandiose plans
another day to spend
from the bank of my life
to reap the dividend

somewhere i went awry
i lost track of the sun
when i turned around again
the day was almost done

so now i pin my hopes
on the fading light
i watch the creeping shadows
and make plans for the night

A quotation from Chamfort

The most wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed.
 
[La plus perdue de toutes les journées est celle où l’on n’a pas ri.]

Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionée], Part 1 “Maxims and Thoughts [Maximes et Pensées],” ch. 1, ¶ 80 (1795) [tr. Morley (1887)]

Figured I tried chatgpt again for a trivial task, it still had to correct it before it gave me a usable answer. The first answer looked right, but was actually plain wrong. #losttime

A quotation from Colton, Charles Caleb:

«
With books, as with companions, it is of more consequence to know which to avoid, than which to chuse; for good books are as scarce as good companions, and in both instances, all that we can learn from bad ones, is, that so much time has been worse than thrown away.

The universe is conspiring against my weekend.
1. Get in a car accident a few weeks ago (minor; rear-ended)
2. Get a rental car while our car is in the shop
3. Get a flat tire in that rental car

Now I gotta wait for roadside assistance and drive to the airport to exchange the rental car.
