“mile from us lives neighbor Mike Phillips, off the grid. His motto is, “No more mergers and acquisitions.” If he owns something he doesn’t use for 24 months, he “Goodwills it” or burns it. He’s like Bruce Chatwin: “Things filled men with fear: the more things they had, the more they had to fear. Things had a way of riveting themselves on to the soul and then telling the soul what to do.”
