I was wondering yesterday — will living in a rather slow and tranquil place make me a part of its demeanor? I have a fear (or maybe one day I will admit that it is hope) that my next book will be less akin to the ModCon book than to Walden. Of course, in five hundred years, will people be reading Walden or will they be reading ModCon? As much as I'd like to take credit for the future, I think we all know it's Walden that stands the test of time.
We have a number of errands today, and when I'm done this post and a few replies, I'm off to unload the truck. Hopefully I find my second pair of glasses — yesterday, while lying in the grass, the dog pounced full force on my face, seized them as a treasure, and bounded off across the fields with them. We searched a while, but for now I am somewhat blurry. In any case, I can still appreciate this view from our window:
