The Mundane

One must shift from the observer to the do'er at times on the farm. Today the task was to resolve a septic tank problem. It turned out to be a treasure hunt producing no treasure. We will prevail.

The trip to town for parts reminds me how Morgantown is a farm of condos and appartments. Nice pastures adjacent to town turn into the air-nailed, vinyl-sided, Holiday Inn like "dwelings". No more cattle grazing........... eliminated along with the wildlife that kept the sanity going there. Now these areas are cars and parking lots and runoff. Large machines carve the soul out of the landscape.....Almost level---West Virginia.

Glad to be back to the snug house; warm fire, dogs snoring, sanity preserved.
