Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
8/4: not a screech at all
We swam in the lake at sunset, and then some of our neighbors came down to the dock and we stayed to chat with them. By the time we got up the hill to our house it was dark. We heard a bird-call we've never noticed before: it sounded like a horse whinnying. Turns out, it's a screech-owl. They're mentioned all the time in ancient literature, but until tonight I didn't know what one actually sounded like.
