Greens and Browns

Went walking and flying at the Sterling Community School again today. There were men working in the woods near the athletic fields. A truck parked nearby gave us a clue where they came from: Printed on side of truck cab Alternative Incarceration Center; printed on the side of the bed Community Service. That stimulus money must be reaching Northeastern Connecticut.

Quote: The laws of nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the laws of man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the laws of nature,---were man as unerring in his judgments as nature. --Longfellow
