“The first human who hurled an insult instead of a stone was the founder of civilization.” —Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) neurologist, founder of psychoanalysis
Just finished “The Library Book” by Susan Orlean. The second chapter is an absolutely masterful description of the fire that destroyed the LA public Library some years ago. I got so caught up in her description that I totally lost sight of the destruction. . .fabulous/nasty stuff, fire. . .

Do you know how to start a fire? You rub two Boy Scouts together! I should know. I was a Boy Scout. No. I wasn’t used to start a fire.
