The brick is photographed with the long continuous lines of grout running vertically. The image is displayed upside-down so the disappearing point for the grout is below the image.

Amish Paradise

Were we ever meant to be alone?

One of my friends at work, we'll call her Christy, had her last day yesterday. Since she's a third shifter we third shifters threw her the obligatory going away party.

I already feel really lonely. On the way home from work I was listening to the BBC World Service on WYSO. I listened to an intriguing interview of the founder of Bookcrossing.com, essentially its Where's George for books. He stated one of the reasons for starting the project was to develop a sense of community.

Have we all gotten so self absorbed and in our own world we need a book tracking site to develop a sense of community?

If it weren't for my liberal slant I'd go live with the Amish
