Didn't these cops have more important stuff to do? I didn't get picked for the jury.<BR/><BR/>I'd never heard of the Man Cave.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874162149979602139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-41085003017853455772007-10-07T09:06:00.000-06:002007-10-07T09:06:00.000-06:00Sally, I'm reading way too many blogs and comments...Sally, I'm reading way too many blogs and comments about a Tennessee sex sting that plastered the names, addresses, and photos of men charged with disorderly conduct all over the papers and TV. The screaming large type, biased reporting, the big scoop, the family values crap. One man committed suicide. There were a few sane voices on the blogs, but a lot of righteous wrath, too, and I was hypnotized by it. I was also rather irate and researched organizations concerned about journalism ethics. It's a mean old world. Stupid, too. I feel a rant coming on. Enough. Somewhere in there I read Joan Didion's brief essay on Newport(RI), Seacoast of Despair.

When the house was first built there were only two other houses on the big mesa. Now there are a lot more than that, but it still feels pretty remote and people keep to themselves. In fact it's a very cantankerous group of people.<BR/><BR/>The house behind us has been empty for two years.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874162149979602139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-69007378460538027642007-10-06T09:43:00.000-06:002007-10-06T09:43:00.000-06:00It's really fun to finally see a photo of your hou...It's really fun to finally see a photo of your house. Did you and Jon design it? How new is it? It looks like you're really out there in the wilderness. Are there neighbors around? Can we see pictures of the inside?Linda Davickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660351950973083893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13524464.post-56927952411302744282007-10-06T05:04:00.000-06:002007-10-06T05:04:00.000-06:00Your house is beautiful!

If you were to look one over, you'd see what I meant. Ernest Thompson Seton, famed naturalist of the time, wrote an article. It was sort of like a Sunset Magazine for the privileged, with great information on plants, animals and architecture.<BR/><BR/>Katy, what are you reading now?
