With your indulgence, I’ll go perhaps a little easy on us (aka me) with this week’s page target, and aim to rejoin you all at the next roadstop. Speaking of which….<\/p>\n
The next roadstop:<\/strong> Let’s gather our ponies and\/or kick up our sandals at the end of the section entitled “The Buddha” (aka page 413 in the Random House paperback), where something “swallows them up.”<\/p>\n And this? <\/strong>This is the post for comments on sections 2.15 through 3.1.<\/p>\n And also:<\/strong> Wikipedia tells us that “Shakespeare’s phrase, ‘hoist with his own petard,’ is an idiom that means ‘to be harmed by one’s own plan to harm someone else’ or ‘to fall into one’s own trap,’ implying that one could be lifted (blown) upward by one’s own bomb, or in other words, be foiled by one’s own plan.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Friends, I have no one to blame but myself!
