Eagle Nest, New Mexico, 2012. “People like to drive because driving is actually and symbolically an almost perfect mechanism for escape…there is probably no human being who does not have troubles, real or imagined, from which he at times feels the need to flee.” George R. Stewart.

ReplyDeletePeter . I remember that Toby was offered that log house and the little frame house beside it for $ 70,000 . Toby didn't want to " sign his life away ' so he passed on that . The log place got moved across the street and worked into a new place . At that time interest rates were up around 20% , so it was a scary thing to go into debt. Alex
