Killarney
Nice little town.
Saturday 6:35 AM
I can hear rain hitting the roof.
I had two classes this morning. One cancelled. Just as well. Morning will be less hectic.
Today. Killarney. Need a better location for setup.
Mosquitos.
Increased my French score to 89.

Pray for David Warren
David Warren at Essays in Idleness has always been my favorite blogger. Notoriously cheap as I am, I did send him a donation.
Anyway, this latest entry reads like a sign off, and I like this statement of belief:
The most superlative protection comes through making art. It is the natural expression of faith in action. The greatest threats come through bureaucrats and bureaucracies. I am for creative freedom, and voluntary acts, and against taxmen and oppressors.
Similarly, NGD said: Man’s three enemies are: the devil, the state and technology.

Thursday 6:28 AM
Dawn.
Tony’s Orientation Day.
In Ukraine, they’ve started school. In Canada, they start September 8. Late, in Italy.
This morning, I wait around for bookings on Twenix.
From my early morning NGD reading:
La calidad de una inteligencia depende menos de lo
que entiende que de lo que la hace sonreír.
—The quality of an intelligence depends less on what
it understands than on what makes it smile.

Wednesday Evening Walk
I followed my son as he went on an evening stroll. Good to see him getting out of the house.
The houses we saw were nice enough.
Too many mosquitos killed the comfort of the evening coolness.
What was missing? I asked myself. Anyone in the neighborhood who was soulful, thinking of eternity?
