Columbus’ Pedestal at Night
Where lies the land to which the ship would go?
Far, far ahead is all her seamen know.
And where the land she travels from? Away,
Far, far behind, is all that they can say.excerpt from Where Lies the Land
by Arthur Hugh Clough
You’re Like Me… But Taller
Looks like Cat5 Critters come in more than one variety. I better keep an eye on this one, not only does it have AT-AT legs but a nose too!
Through That Gate of Glass…
I know a garden with three strange gates
Of silver, of gold, and glass.
At every gate, in a deep, soft voice,
A sentinel murmurs, “Pass.”At night I passed through the silver gate,
An ivory moon rode high;
I heard the song of the silver stars
That swung in the silver sky.I walked at dawn through the gate of gold,
And came to a golden sea.
Seven mermaids rose from the golden waves
And fluttered white hands to me.At last I came to the other gate.
The sentinel murmured, “Pass!”
I never will tell what lovely things
I saw through that gate of glass.

Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. -Genesis 2:15 NKJV
Snow Storm Devastates Hillsdale Flamingo Population
The birds didn’t have a chance and were frozen solid in mid-flight. Of course, the’re plastic lawn flamingos and can’t fly very well to begin with so I guess they were doomed from the start.
Many of the trees were in the early stages of dropping leaves and were torn limb from limb by the heavy wet snow fall. Irene should have taken care of most of the weak limbs but it just goes to show the power of snow shouldn’t be underestimated.
Quote: Everyone is Guilty
During a tense conversation between Councilman Hardin and Sermak.
Hardin: “Perhaps! Your opinions are yours, of course. Still you are rather young.”
Sermak: Dryly. “It is a fault that most people are guilty of at some period of their life…”
-Isaac Asimov’s book “Foundation”
