I promise this is the last post to mention my current hard disk woes. At least I think it is. I let R-Studio run over night. Woke up today, went to the computer and saw, “R-Studio has encountered a problem and needs to close.” Sigh. I think I’m giving up at this point. To the best of my recollection, nothing that was lost qualifies as essential. Time to move on.

Once in a blue moon, HK can still do something right. And I don’t want to be only negative in my commentary on HK topics. So today … SCMP reports that The Donald plans to introduce a series of measures speeding up conversion of old industrial buildings into homes for artists’ studios and workshops. This is something that is badly needed here and it will be great if this succeeds.

In today’s letters section, a Mr. Paul Kokoski of Hamilton, Ontario has taken the trouble to register his opinion on the subject of euthanasia. He tells us that pain and suffering at the end of one’s life is part of God’s plan, that those who are gravely ill and request euthanasia are really just asking for love and a lot more hogwash along those lines that I’m not going to bother repeating. Apparently Mr. Kokoski wishes to force the tenets of his religion on everyone in the world. How nice for him.
