nostalgic for the past

I was in the warehouse and I was nostalgic for a simpler place and time. The radio was crackling with Ray Charles. There was no air conditioning on and the air was stuffy. No Internet. No TV. Just books.

And a beautiful girl who loves books too. We had a great time discovering.
ON the ride back, I looked at the new housing development that sprouted where last year they were growing tomato plants. But the houses looked sad. Even tomato plants have variety- some tomatos are big and some are rotten too soon. But these houses are all the same. Nature may abhor a vacuum but that's what's on all the tvs in all those houses.

True if everyone lived to read Bertrand Russell books, our modern economy would collapse.

But is that a bad thing? How much more can we sustain? We'll find out.

I suppose I enjoy using "corporate" technology to relay my experiences with you. But soon I'll be 100% Linux. :) I ordered a new server today. Doing things like that makes me yearn for the future. Is that possible?

Reading at the warehouse is the greatest thing ever. I'm going to have a school there called, "Turn off the constant distractions from the Internet and lose yourself in a book- you aren't as smart as you think."
