And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

1) Stargaze, marvel at your observation point in Creation, and listen to the audio ambience of that location. 2) Watch the fire, giving it an occasional poke, like your ancestors did every night for 20,000 years. 3) Sleep, like your lizard brain is programmed to do when you stop living by clocks and artificial light. I'm pretty sure no one's had a good night's sleep since Edison and his lightbulb came along, and cellphones have only made it worse by orders of magnitude.
And those are just the solo activities. If you have a suitable companion, and as Anon 6:23A hinted, I can think of a hundred things to do before I'd light upon settling for anything to do with that obnoxious board game. Except to stir it into the fire. Since you asked. :)
Somebody lives there, in that weather, and they're playing bleeping Scrabble?

Really, what do you do after dark?
DeleteIt ain't scrabble!
DeleteTurn the lights on.

Looks like kids there also - two little cars below the coffee table. Scrabble is great on a rainy afternoon. But today it is off hiking until dinner.
ReplyDeleteThose are chew-toys. Get your eyeballs calibrated
DeleteLooks like the US somewhere. Any ideas ?

ReplyDeleteIf that photo was truly taken in the morning...what the heck are soda cans sitting on the coffee table? Too much sugar too early!!!
