This space intentionally left blank. This house intentionally left cluttered. This wall intentionally beaten using a large axe. This car intentionally left running. This music intentionally sucks. This dog intentionally humps your leg.

"You don't get out of the wind, but learn to lean and squint against it. You don't escape the sky and sun, but wear them into your eyeballs and on your back. You become acutely aware of yourself. The world is very large, the sky even larger, and you are very small."

*Wallace Stegner (writing about the prairies of Saskatchewan.)
