COMPENDIUM “And what if I make the wrong choice?” “The greatest bit of hubris a man can hold is denying there are choices without consequence. The right choice now may prove to be the wrong one ten years hence. The wrong choice now may yield but a scratch but prevent the tumbling of an unseen pebble that sparks an avalanche. The only way to truly fail is to never choose at all.”

The Rochester-Fallon had not fared well during the cataclysm, a fact that Walker was beginning to appreciate. The lobby had been ransacked, with tiles and carpet shredded and destroyed and the desk itself was smashed. The elevators were definitely out, with doors broken down and cables hung down the shafts. This forced them to use the stairs, which were a ramshackle mess, with handrails barely hanging onto the walls and trash filling the stairwells. Given that the building was a hundred floors or so tall, they prepared for a slog.

How I grew up.
I grew up Southern Africa, born and raised and raised in Rhodesia, went to high school in KeaZuluNatal, South Africa-in the 1960s/1970s) I never questioned my mother's income or my father's!! It was never a discussion. We never once discussed how my parents voted or for who. We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes, and vegetables. We never touched anything that did not belong to us. We never opened a refrigerator at anyone's house unless asked to do so. We were taught to respect other people's property. And we were rewarded for acting properly.
