No photos, no job, no running. So far today, only BBQ in Arthur. Well, that makes up for a lot of "no's."
Walked at 6:30 AM with neighbors, ranted and raved about falling markets, reduced retirement funds, and politics in America. Went to Arthur (heart of the Amish in Illinois) and bought book: "The Audacity of Deceit." Looking for deer in the backyard now, listening to Ohio State beatup on the Boilers, and wondering what employment will look like in the near future.
Philosophy evades me at the moment.
"What is this oozing behemoth, this fibrous tumor, this monster of power and expense hatched from the simple human desire for civic order? How did an allegedly free people spawn a vast, rampant cuttlefish of dominion with its tentacles in every orifice of the body politic?" [Opening lines from "Parliament of Whores" by P.J. O'Rourke, 1991].
If we do not study history, we are doomed to repeat it.
