Ordered the book from the CW-MARS library catalog. I’m a dedicated armchair (and front lawn, back yard, neighborhood) traveler. It’s a misty, moisty morning here, too. The clouds are piled like gray...

My eye went right to the spot where the brick is missing. Hmmmmm? I can see why you were ‘delighted’. The sea green of the pole and the earthiness of the brick go well together. I think the fact that...

I went and looked up Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and think you’re perfectly right. Beauty is ignored anywhere in the pyramid, but like you I think it might be right down there foundationally as a...
