Mid-life crisis? Join the club...

Scientists have observed that primates (and I don't mean the ecclesiastical kind) do experience the equivalent of a mid-life crisis. so I'm happy to find that I'm in the very best of company. Imagine what they'd be like if they had beer and cable TV....yep, correct. Just like us.

It's a neat reminder that, whatever else we are, we are all part of nature and part of the cosmos. It makes all the scratching, grunting and chest-beating that we see in our legislators seem sadly inevitable.
