quote of the day

A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct of what is beautiful and awe-inspiring is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.
--Rachel Carson

So true.

I think Rachel was a little harsh, although I agree with her general intent. Still haven't heard back from the Post Office, so I'm not holding my breath. And I wish that, like your chief executive, I'd held out for more room and a more thoughtful approach to getting rid of what could rashly be seen as too much.
