There's a loose connection somewhere . . . although I usually try to insulate myself from such things, someone relayed the information to me that this was all my fault! But I re- fuse to believe it, just for starters.

What you didn't go directly to the point?
what sort of circuitous route did you take? what impeded your resistance? Could you be LED a better way?

Hardly, I suspect, a current event. IN fact, I would imagine it was a faraday ago. Perhaps not back in the days of Coulombus, but Watt do I know for certain? Did you sit in the cell and chant Ohm until you were bailed out? Here bail would have been set by a circuit court judge, but I suspect you have another name for your magistrates back in the ohm country.

In short, I remained static, for this was all for which I had the capacity. They tried to pylon the charges, but a wire to my lawyer ensured that the potential for electrocution as a punishment was averted.

I recoiled in horror when I saw this, but then in thinking about it I realized they would hardly have had grounds. Earthy comments, perhaps, but not grounds. I'm certain you;ll remember this unless some trauma happened which would spark gaps in your memory. Of course there's always the flux of time to take into consideration, but having met you I know that you combat time with some resistance.
I usually read poetry when I'm feeling old. You might try odes to see if they work for you.
Which reminds me of one of my better efforts some years ago. A friend of mine bought an ancient funerary urn while in Athens, and I was able to get his wife to give me the charge slip for it. I framed it for him for his birthday, and he still proudly displays the frame with the title: Owed on a Grecian Urn. True story.

kai su is the Greek for et tu. Suetonius gives Julius Caesar's last words as being in Greek: kai su teknon (and/even you (my) son).
