Our contraptions may shape our consciousness, but it is our consciousness that makes our credos, and we mostly live by those. Toast, as every breakfaster knows, isn’t really about the quality of the bread or how it’s sliced or even the toaster. For man cannot live by toast alone.

She was miserable in her little tent and from too many black fly bites but cute in her own mousey sort of way. After a few shots of Jim Beam and some conversation, I managed to cheer her up. I suspect she might have been obnoxious back in New York, but she was nice enough out of her element.
