<p>Mary and I are reading a biography of HD Thoreau and I feel like I have a better bead on who the heck NST is from getting a slightly better bead on that aspect of small town New England's history/perspective. Neither of us have spent more than glancing
careens through New England population centers in our lives.<br>

<p>We were on our way to visit a friend on the coast of Maine with an intention of crashing Nick's front porch party on the way by, for some egg-salad sandwiches when Mary's back went sideways. We've been doing urgent care/medical imaging/accupuncture/physical
therapy instead. She's recovering well and may likely avoid surgery.<br>

vectors ourselves ). <br>

<p>I read that Amtrak style travel clocks in at 1/2 the carbon footprint of air-travel... I'm surprised it is not better. In either case, it doesn't fit well into my aspiration of joining (spiritually) the

<div dir="ltr">I fried my network adapter, so I will have no network connectivity at least until friday. Possibly, longer if it turns out to be a software problem. Didn't want anybody to think I didn't love them. If you need to talk, best to call me at 413-477-6602.
God knows I don't have anything else to do.
