"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring- these are some of the rewards of the simple life"
John Burroughs (1837-1921)

Today's Crop
The Future
Today in Walmart we were not surprised to see a Chinese family happily loading up their cart with the necessities of an American house (or apartment or dorm). Iron, ironing board, coffee maker, dishes, etc. Okay, they're all probably made in China but come on, what bargains! I bet the whole cart-full added up to less than $50. I never got to find out. They were behind us in the checkout lane when, as in other third world countries, the lights went off. Yup, Walmart in the dark. No checkouts, no air conditioning. I wonder what the Chinese family was thinking.
