In the big city now, in the very beautiful Harold Washington Library in downtown Chicago. Rather a switch from charming little SFe. But I've always loved the big cities as well as the little towns. Bookends, really. Walking along I noticed a sign for FLAX ---Flax! Drawn to it like a magnet I anticipated stocking up on all the lovely papery/inky things I think I need, but, alas, although it is the same as the one in SFo, it had shut and presumably moved to a more salubrious location. Well, just the sign alone was a tonic. Who knows what else I'll stumble on to bring back to the hinterland? Should I be stocking up for the winter, bringing back sacks of flour on the buckboard? Perhaps that's what the Internet is for now.
I go back home tomorrow; I miss it, however much I may enjoy the city for a while.
