O kadar çok egoist şeylere sarılmış durumdayız ki — kariyer, aile, yeterince para kazanmak, ipoteği ödemek, yeni bir araba almak, bozulunca radyatörü tamir ettirmek... Hayatta kalmak için trilyonlarca küçük işle meşgulüz. Bu yüzden bir adım geri atıp hayatımıza bakma alışkanlığı geliştirmiyoruz ve kendimize sormuyoruz: “Hepsi bu mu? Gerçekten istediğim bu mu? Bir şey eksik mi?”
We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?
When I finally got down off the radiator and went out to the hat-check room, I was crying and all. I don’t know why, but I was. I guess it was because I was feeling so damn depressed and lonesome.

"Ümumilikdə iki yüz səksən altı radiator yeri vardı. Yüz yetmiş altısına radiator qoşulmuşdu. Qoşulanların əlli altısı yeni, digərləri atılmalı idi. Altmışa yaxın radiatorun su buraxdığı altlarındakı vedrələrdən bəlli olurdu."

'You found something belonging to Mrs Hammond, didn't you? In the waiting room?'
'Yes, I found her bag.'
The bag, it seemed, had been behind the radiator in front of the window.
'I thought it was a strange place for it, if she was going to - do what she did. I gave it to the police when they came.'
So Elinor, having put her hat on the table, had dropped her bag behind the radiator before she jumped. Somehow it didn't make sense to me.

The detonation speed of the homemade C-4 is about 21000 feet per second (fps), much faster than commercial dynamite but slower than TNT. The addition of finely powdered aluminum will boost the detonation speed nearer to that of genuine C-4. You can buy powdered aluminum at paint or chemical supply stores. Powdered aluminum radiator sealers work well.
"Mitch," he said, "the culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die.
