[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

What Miss Bingley would be like if she were a 139 year old vampire with most of her sharp edges rubbed off & Mr. Bennet is a halfling.? I have a series of short stories for you.

Happy Spring Eve! Have some photos of early spring here in the Eastern Sierras, as well as some thoughts on silence, internet marketing, how we have all changed in recent years, plus a portrait of the dignified Sir Christopher Wigglebutt, Dog Esq.

@SolarSimone Happy Birthday and Bona Fortuna on this Solar Return! May 27 be a blessing and full of laughter.

@UnlockAstrology p.s. But you are probably right about the Libra Mafia, which would put the chart ruler plus Ur & Pl in the 12th. Hiding the the mafia until it is too late to escape.

@UnlockAstrology My guess: Third decan Virgo ASC nestled in between Uranus and Pluto. Or a Sag rising conjunct Mars.

Sorry for tweeting so much, but Twitter throttles out-bound links, so I'm trying this again.

SoCal animal shelters are overwhelmed with people dropping off injured animals they can't take with them as they flee. Many are in need of volunteers, money, and foster homes 🧵

@nigeldanson I had to separate up my catalogues, into two smaller ones, due to this.

UPDATE: 8:17pm on Jan 1, 2025 - I consulted the Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada and found out that my new rat friends are NOT rattus rattus but a species of North American pack rat known as Desert Woodrat. They were cuter than the average rat.

I have posted a short story to my Ms. Jen's Tidbits. It is kicking off what will hopefully be a short Saturday series on various meditation techniques. Since 2020, morning meditation has been a life saver for me.

@UnlockAstrology @YouTube I have watched this haka protest several times now and it does my heart good.

I'm staying here til the wheels fall off.
