mountains of useless drudgery
---------------------

A strong wind from the
north is kicking up the surf in AuTrain Bay, Lake Superior. As
usual, we didn't receive the large snowfall predicted for Alger
County. Temperatures climbed back up to the 30's today.

A slave, Marcus
Cato said, should be working when he is not sleeping. It does
not matter whether his work is needed or not, he must work, because
work in itself is good--for slaves, at least. This sentiment
still survives, and it has piled up mountains of useless drudgery.
George Orwell,
Down and Out in Paris and London.
