About the Author “It is possible to get upset by the world at times. Yet overall it is best to try to understand and place matters in some form of historical context. I suggest those whose concerns are, in their minds, something like mine, to put them down. The expression can only help. But let it not be raging and angry at everything. That can only be destructive. So do as I do: Keep trying” Ross Middleton, Barney’s to Blame (Inspiring Publishers, Calwell, ACT, Australia), 2023.
