There’s a guy + kid outside my window standing in the middle of the road underneath an overhead powerline failing to launch an upside down kite. Should I open the window and offer some advice or let darwinism run its course?

Best tell him.

Do you really want to be sitting in the dark later?

Ah, didn’t think that one through. Once the flaming child had extinguished I would indeed be cast into darkness. Fortunately their stamina and skills are well matched, play is abandoned.

We’ll know you did not make it out on time if you do not post anything else tonight.
