Baule - Segunda etapa: re-aparece la piedra

Que en la bruma me encontreis -
Y en la bruma el alpe - el termino que bautiza a las montañas
y la piedra recupera posiciones - y oculta el pecado original del cemento, Piedra...piedra fingida.
Y para los angloparlantes y anglofonos - el pensamiento del dia:
"There are very few men who have the shrewdness to think and feel beyond the commotion of the present moment"
(Carl von Clausewitz?)

Ardèche

Camping......
I read the story of Google. The Quixotes give a good example of playing off the system. Now, what is left for them once the money flows in?
In paralell to the story of Google, the good fortune of meeting the camping neighbours. Students, sociables, on their way to their own lifes. Mini-Googles, quasi-Quixotes.

Extinct personality traits


A 27 year-old writter (Marisha Pessl - Special Topics in Calamity Physics) makes a list of extinct personality traits:


"Character, Reputation, Integrity, Class"


Interesting to reflect whether these terms are "conservative" - or of general value, worth maintaing in the current society.
