Thanks to them who made it all possible God, Mom, and Dad. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost For one thing, they were nowhere as bad as you think — and at the same time, they were infinitely worse than anything you could ever im- agine. 1 cannot explain that either.

The Good Life Don a. Eichmann Engineer In the space of one hundred and seventy-sii yeara the lower Mississippi haa shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. I herefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic bilurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was up- wards of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mex- ico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the Lower Mississippi will only be a mile and three quarters long and Cairo and New Orleans will have joined their streets together and be plodding comfor- tably along under a single mayor and a mutual board of aldermen. There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact. Mark Twain The Atlantic Monthly 36, 193 (1875) When you part from a friend, you grieve not; for that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
