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
8/1: air, conditioned and un-
I am grateful for air conditioning. It's hard to imagine living in Arkansas without it. But every summer at some point the air conditioning messes up my sinuses, and today I reached that point. After years of this mid-summer syndrome, I know what medicines to take. And by this evening, though I wasn't feeling completely well, I was well enough to go out on the lake to watch the sunset. Now I'm sitting on the porch with the cats. Time in the unconditioned air is helping. (And it's wild to be surrounded right now by the sounds of thousands of frogs and crickets in the dark--the cats' ears are at attention.)
