Just watching the stock market fall, fall, fall Re: kindred spirit

Just watching the stock market fall, fall, fall

Re: kindred spirit

Some of us watch the stock market fall with idle curiosity only.

Back in time to anywhere, to Vesuvius in 79 AD would go I.

Rocks crashing from above like gigantic bowling balls, stronger and fiercer than any cannons at Pickett's charge in the Civil War would annihilate persons, things and sacred institutions. Gaseous scalding winds of poisonous airs would surprise friend and foe.

Hopefully no children would be hurt during my imaginary sojourn back to Olde Vesuvius.

But it would be interesting to see if maybe a few others ran joyfully and manically about the narrow streets in the mayhem of change and destruction to the status quo of olde Pompey the day Vesuvius blew the lid off every day life in a little part of the ubiquitous Roman Way of life.

Perhaps I could meet a kindred spirit, anxious for a little change.
