It's easy to see the faults in people I know; it's hardest to see the good. Especially when the good isn't there.

Sartor Resartus is simply unreadable, and for me that always sort of spoils a book.Will Cuppy
Some fishes become extinct, but Herrings go on forever. Herrings spawn at all times and places and nothing will induce them to change their ways. They have no fish control. Herrings congregate in schools, where they learn nothing at all. They move in vast numbers in May and October. Herrings subsist upon Copepods and Copepods subsist upon Diatoms and Diatoms just float around and reproduce. Young Herrings or Sperling or Whitebait are rather cute. They have serrated abdomens. The skull of the Common or Coney Island Herring is triangular, but he would be just the same anyway. (The nervous system of the Herring is fairly simple. When the Herring runs into something the stimulus is flashed to the forebrain, with or without results.)

I do not travel. I am not much of an extrovert, and I'm not much interested in extroverted objects. I do not care for the ideas of novelists. Novels are wonderful, of course, but I prefer newspapers.

You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.
