        " Physics "    a story. 

When I started a job as janitor in an Electrical Power Generation outfit
I gained insight information on such things , and loving physics I soaked
up learning like a sponge.   The boss was a genius who loved to teach
----- to hell with the broom and mop ..and on to the "black board"  yeah
his name was BLACK. Within minutes he would have so many vectors
on the board --that I was reduced to smiling and nodding.
So what has this to do with this story ??? you may ask. Hang in there.
This position gave me unfettered access to all the drawings and books. 
So starting with the basics I picked out a book called "Power Generation"
the type with big dams and lines on the cover.
 On the first page -- I swear :

"It is a fundamental Physical Law , that Energy can neither be created
nor destroyed "   ------????????????????????? (question mine)

Arrogant statement ?  you bet. and stupid.

If energy exist ---- then it was created.      and they are trying to tell us
that whoever or whatever made it ---is incapable of making a pinch more
or taking a pinch away ?

I suspect that the human brain is so arranged that it can not grasp
things from nothing pr total destruction of matter. 

For a rough guide it is ok ---  change the wording a bit and viola.

My thoughts are with you fellas out east  pushing and shoveling and 
jumping   ---spring is on the way.              Hagar.
