Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

We'll miss him...this much

Don Adams, who will forever be known as Agent 86, passed away at the age of 82.

Get Smart was one of my most favorite shows of my youth. Who will forget the Cone of Silence, the shoe phone, KAOS, Agent 99, Agent 13 crammed into everything from a vending machine to a mailbox, the old triangulation device in the french bread trick, etc...

The Corner had a link to something I didn't know. Adams was in the Marines, and was on Guadalcanal.
