I did not know that one could come to an appreciation of -- here comes an odd expression -- the 'length of time,' by which I mean, you could know its rough dimensions just by looking at it, holding it, as if it were a handful of sand.

Moving on to other things: it was nice to see former South African President de Klerk (right) in the news, after his marriage to a lovely local lady. May they both enjoy the sunny post-Apartheid days.
