Granted I am a babbler, a harmless, vexatious babbler, like all of us. But what is to be done if the direct and sole vocation of every intelligent man is babbling -- that is, the intentional pouring of water through a sieve? Oh, if I had done nothing simply from laziness! Heavens, how I should have respected myself then!" 000723 ... grendel the roaches on the floor of the cave where the bats dwell... if one bat falls from its perch while asleep... he becomes a snack for the ravening swarm that keeps his house clean 000723 ... tourist Grendel my man,read scawlled on some blathering wall that you lived in a cave, and I couldn'thelp but wonder if it was the natural sort, or one of your own construction. I've thought about underground dwelling before, and even done a little speluking. I am really a mite envious of anyone who has achived it. 001031 ... grendel it's my own perverse metaphor for my little apartment compartment 001031 ... tourist Oh. I use the same description for the building I work in, because of the climate control and the lack of natural lighting. But I used to think about either building an earth sheltered home, or even building directly over the mouth of a cave system so my basement could run for miles. just exploring would keep me occupied for years. And you could draw air up out of the cave for constant cooling, or heating in the winter. 001101 ... starlette can't we go back... to the underground? too much attention too many cops too many drugs... let's go back 010209 ...
