Just like that , the fields were empty, no labor

My quote of the day....Antonio Gramsci: “The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: Now is the time of monsters.”

Maybe it was the beer, or their mothers taught them nicely not to use their sleeves. I fly-fished with an older gentleman, and he would have a constant white streak on both sides of his mouth.

That slightly improved during adolescence, but it remained. I can recall the old Norwegian farmers in Little Norway tavern having a beer and having skol-stained drool, creating a brown line on both sides of their mouths. This intrigued me as they made no attempt to wipe it away.

I cherish the simplicity of my existence, but I would be naive to think that it can be sustained in today's world—one moment at a time.
