I've been a avid reader since I was a child. I moved from the children's
library in Durham, NC (where I grew up) to the adult library at about
age 10 because the children's library had no books left that I hadn't
already read at least once.
I don't know why, but ALL of the books assigned for required reading in
my High School (with the exception of Silas Marner - which might have
been a "reader's digest" version) were were like slogging your way
through neck deep molasses. I have re-read a couple of them (not Moby
Dick, and NOT The Scarlet Letter), and they're still way to prolix.

I first read Mody Dick 35 years ago and am finding it a lighter read now
than I did then, but I'm only a few hundred pages into it so maybe they
really heavy stuff is coming.

I am no fan of Melville; I found Moby Dick heavy going, but rope is
exactly what I expected. That's odd because I heat with wood and the
secondary definition never occurred to me.

Thanks, Ann. I'm re-reading Moby Dick this summer and Melville is always
talking about "cordage". When I looked it up I found out that coils of
rope and ships riggingw as the primary meaning, with the landlubberish
meaning of chopped wood second. And since the photo is of an extension
cord....
Thanks for looking!

I like it, too - but I expected to see the chopped off ends of a

This was really an exercise in trying to get a good development time
to give some very expired film I have on hand a two stop push - but I
like the test image.
