“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion.

My front yard looks so different now that the pickup trucks and trailer are gone. It looks… clean. I had to get my bike towed to the mechanic yesterday. Again. It wouldn’t start; it just made a clicking sound when I pressed the starter. I bought the battery back in November or December of last…
