the last sound on the
worthless earth
---------------------

We are enjoying daytime
temperatures in the 60's and nighttime temperatures in the
40's. This morning, I raided the beach at the Lake Superior
Scenic View in Au Train to snap this photograph of the Au Train
River as it turns to meet Lake Superior. Au Train Island is on
the horizon in the upper left of the picture.
--------------------
The last sound
on the worthless earth will be two human beings trying to launch a
homemade spaceship and already quarreling about where they are going
next.

Faulkner
