Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law, that when something can happen it does happen, that when something can go wrong it will go wrong, is called a "law" for a reason. It is the gospel according to nature.

When I go to bed, I like to leave the radio on. I'm sure many people do the same, and I know a few people who like to sleep with the television on, which I don't.

I like to have either classical music, or "Coast to Coast AM" with George Noory. I'm a cat napper, and wake up often, then go back to sleep, or sometimes, stay awake. The other night I awakened just as the radio announcer was saying "and now we present Beethoven's Ninth Symphony"...

I thought WoW! Great! that's my favorite! haven't heard it in awhile....

The majestic opening strains, I closed my eyes to listen......

and the next thing I know I am jolted awake to a majestic measure of music, the final solemn note of......Beethoven's Ninth..and the announcer saying "and, ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our presentation"...and I think ..WHAT?  I missed it!   

Murphy's law. Wake up when you don't want to, sleep when you don't want to..oh well....
...and the sooner one accepts Murphy's Law as a fact of life, the better...but we can use it to our advantage. we can turn it into a funny story, or learn from it..

the true, total Murpy's law is this: anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, unless we jump in right away, and fix it right after it goes wrong, or keep it from going wrong in the first place, which we can do, with proper training...train humanity to build a better world, and humanity shall build a better world, and this verily...
