When we bought this house-- well, that house-- about 15 years ago, it had, among other issues, a wall-like hedge, probably 8 feet high, along the front of the property. So, maybe 10 feet wide overall, ratty cedar, only thing like it around. Totally blocked out the sidewalk / road. In recluse style. An old lady had lived in the house and she obviously wanted to be more cut off from all sorts of... read more »

“These mod cons, despite the brief excitement they generated, were basically chutes leading down to clay pipes, which in turn acted as simple conduits to the river, depositing the waste of the rich next to the waste of the poor, where the distinction was lost on the kholics, who attempted, each day, to clean it up.”
Brent Hayward, The Fecund's Melancholy Daughter

“All novels are fantasies. Some are more honest about it.”
Gene Wolfe

“The first draft of anything is shit.”
