gotta love architecture books
I am currently reading a book(watch out) and I found a cool quote. enjoy.
"So, willy nilly, to perceive health, we must look through and beyond disease; to locate sanity we must wander through the jungle, the swamps, the marshes and the arid places of confusion worse confounded-and we must hold a steady course, guided by the sun in the daytime and the stars at night. There is no help for it; we are choking in miasm. We must find the way out to a pure air, or perish. We are rotting-we must purify;we are wasting in a profound torpor; we are growing senile before our time; we are like unto a wormy windfall. Is there no health in us? Or, is there a vital and saving grace-a force, a power that will regenerate? From the ugly worm shall there come a beauteous creature of the air? From this compost shall there grow and bloom the rose?
name THAT book without looking it up.

Hmmm...the Message version of the Bible, some obscure verse perhaps? Are you coming home this summer or staying in Pullman?
