i got to go out to hyde farm again today---meeting with a slew of people figuring out how to stabilize the buildings---the osage orange, which is the biggest one i've ever seen, had a bumper crop this year---the old guy pruning the scuppernongs doesn't live on the premises, but he's been doing the farming there for several years----people are gonna really like this place, i think

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.

Naah, much bigger in my backyard.
Scuppernongs? -- what a fantastic word. Hey, Tommy, glad to see progress happening at Hyde. And about that refrigerated beach....
actually they are muscadines, of course---i knew an old lady that always said "scuppydine"
