At the Back of My Mind…

…is the realisation that I live in a manmade environment. The area where I live is almost the lowest point of the Netherlands – at least 6 metres below sea-level. One of these days, something is going to happen. Will I still be around to see it? I don’t know, but sometimes I think I should relocate to higher ground for my twilight years…

Addendum: I did relocate in March 2006 – to a point that is 19 metres above sea-level.
