So true Mike.
It's what makes the electronic/digital world so neat.
Of course, should our civilization suddenly disappear
it will be more likely for archaeologists to find a readable cache of books and newsletters
than a readable nook chip device. I guess....Maybe not.
I mean, everything that depends on batteries seems so ERASABLE.

Still, I think there is something more real, more natural, being stopped in your tracks
by a bunch of spring daffodills lit by a shaft of sun,
than seeing a photo of the same. There is still the expectation of what is behind a
binding in a shelf of books. Something more to do with the senses... first hand and touchable.

Novelist William Faulkner says, "the past is not dead...it's not even past."
The post came about because I did run into a collection of Newletters in a slim manilla folder
...in a stuffed cardboard box.
And they seemed to have substance, maybe like dried flowers, maybe not....
more than pixels on a plastic screen could ever match.


Hey Tony, how's your blinking boat?????
