And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf

It's never too late to start! I retired to homestead on the slopes of Mauna Loa, an active volcano. I relate snippets of my endeavor on my blog : www.kaufarmer.blogspot.com

It smelled so good, we treated him & his pipe like walking incense.

Smells like home.
My dear bride will not let me smoke indoors, and truth be told, I don't want that stale smell in the house 2 days later. But it is lovely to pull an old sweater, flannel or hoodie out that I haven't worn in a year or two, and smell on it the fragrance of old pipe smoke.
That, and butter rum lifesavers, always remind me of my maternal grandfather.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I have (2) pairs, but in a house with (5) women; we have enough shoes to swamp a battleship.

Getting Nigerian princes out of jail, spending a small amount to unlock a very rich bank account or paying to put fuel in a large container ship containing untold riches. All you had to do was help to bring it into port and everyone who purchased fuel would get their cut of the bounty.
He stopped going to work and made these pursuits his full time job. After a couple years he slowed down considerably but never really gave up on the idea that he could get something for nothing... A few years later, one of his insurance fraud things paid off. He pretended to be blind for two years, after a minor traffic incident. This gave him almost 2 million dollars and it reactivated his interest in money for nothing schemes. He squandered much of his windfall on various scams and bad investments available at the touch of a button.

It started out as a guilty pleasure , but evolved into a full-time obsession, and finally as a means of canceling any chance his family had of improving themselves through his fraudulent activities.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

I am addicted to it!! I have worked nights for many years and my "unwinding" when I get home in the morning is to watch a bit of youtube.
