The lurking frost in the earth beneath
Aug. 12th, 2006 10:14 pmHigh today in KW: 23. Dewpoint then: 10. High dewpoint: 11.
High today, here: 23. Dewpoint then: 11. High dewpoint: 12.
Today was one of those days like the first warm days of spring--the temperature is, at least, room temperature, and the sun is warm, but the air is bone-dry, and when the wind comes off a frozen peak, you're two months back in the middle of March. Now, back to freezing inside.
Finished the Protagoras last night, after a long interruption; on to the Theaetetus today, for lack of a better idea. It strikes me that what every Plato dialogue is is a what's-wrong-with-this-picture puzzle. The clues are all there.
