    Some of my friends spoke as if I was coming to the woods on purpose to freeze myself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    People who begin sentences with “I may be old-fashioned but—” are usually not only old-fashioned but wrong. I never thought the time would come when I should catch myself leading off with that crack. But I feel it coming on right now.
