The media have a bit of an obsession with mountaineers lately, dead or dying. Last week it was people being knocked down on pedestrian crossings. I wonder if they have a yearly planner with the topics neatly written in? Obesity has had a good run. I thought our children were all going to die of anorexia. What happened? They seem to have grown from skeletons to balloons in a remarkably short space of time. Anyway, haven't got time to ponder that too much - I'm reading this great article on "The Universe as a Hologram".
