The corps of engineers can only dig between sixty-five and ninety-eight feet a day of the twenty-three hundred feet. All day we make blueprints for an optical illusion. We find the surface area and volume of miniature Ames rooms,and Daniel hands me a cube he made of playing cards, a labyrinth whose floor is the […]
