I mention it to you, Bill, because I got the impression you spend a lot of time browsing art on the internet. I’m just looking for leads at this point.

I hear making woodcuts is pretty cheap. Hint. Hint. But it might take a few years to get used to things being backwards though.

“Resident naturalist” is a very good one. I like to put an X on the spot where I find something like that.

Yeah, neither the regular nor the advanced search will catch the stuff on my sidebar (Google might have it in cache, I suppose). The more logical way to display the Morning Porch content would be through a dedicated category outside the main loop – i.e. in its section of Via Negativa – but I like playing with Tumblr, and it’s much less effort. Sorry!

Two phrases, “resident naturalist” and “whining gears in reverse”, were not to be found in any of the pockets of these archives, nor on any much-thumbed page. So vivid in my memory, yet so entirely absent I feared I was loosing my mind, but then, I cast off elsewhere into the brambles and old sheds of Plummer’s farmstead, and there, on the steps of the “The Morning Porch”, wreathed in crepuscular gloom, they sat, nearly side by side, little more than a week apart, soon to be steaming in the morning sun.
