Trading Places

I’m fascinated by the idea that you can just pick up and move huge structures like this house (maybe it’s an old school, I don’t know for sure). It just seems like a monumental undertaking, and yet people do it all the time around here. I don’t know if this one is coming or going, but I’m glad I’m not involved in either.

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges
cover image for Ficciones My first hands on with Borges... Absolutely amazing. So far beyond what I've been reading lately (mainly non-fiction and some late 20th century authors).
