It happens all the time though, anyway. Every day – it seems – brings something new for you to deal with. What makes one particular problem stand out more than any of the other day-to-day irritations and interruptions? Who knows? There are the big things: births, marriages, deaths and all the thousand other shocks that flesh is heir to, of course. They will all stand out. There are the vagaries of this world and its hostility towards us, and its indifference to our fate, things like floods, storms, earthquakes, lightning strikes and other natural disasters.
Although, it makes one pause and wonder just what would be an unnatural disaster: attacked by psycho penguins and covered in mint-flavoured chocolate, perhaps?
All of it – except the psycho-penguins, of course - run of the mill stuff in a way, but still able to dominate the TV news for days at a time, providing the casualty figures, or the newsworthy-ness of the event is suitably camera-friendly, of course, or if it allows journalists seemingly endless opportunities to speculate together about possible outcomes.
