"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."--Douglas Adams, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"

A weekend spent dodging floodwaters, taking care of four sweet floofs, and watching "Midsomer Murders" did wonders for my mood, though the pain in my arm did its best to bring it back down.

I'm not sure I have any body parts left that aren't weather indicators. I'll excuse that as soon as I can turn my left palm up again.

It's hard sometimes not to feel angry at our lots in life. Had those steps been better designed, perhaps there would have been no fall. Had I not been determined to save time by carrying too much, I might not have stumbled when the suitcase wheel caught the edge of the step.

There's not really much point in getting angry over some things, especially if you feel some sense of responsibility for your situation. Getting furious over minor inconveniences, such as someone getting the last bear claw before you could order, is useless as well, and flying off the handle would seem to indicate something else is at the center of your ire.

Other things, however, are worth the anger. Injustice is a big one, but what counts as injustice might vary depending on........
