“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine.
And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”
― Haruki Murakami

On top of Turnstone's simple but elegant furniture, you might notice some of the other design features in our store. For instance, all of our lighting is the latest LED technology from Juno Lighting and Solais. Solais makes dimmable LED lighting which is powerful enough to use in a retail environment and energy efficient at the same time. Not visible is our speakers from KEF, who provide incredible sound from above.
Functional building on the frontage of the site of the apartment house in which Kästner lived until it was destroyed by bombing in 1944*, which is now the location of the Erich Kästner Kindergarten. *The plaque shows 1929, but other sources state 1944.
(Emil) Erich Kästner 23 February 1899 - 29 July 1974 was a German writer (known primarily for his humorous, socially astute poems and for children's books), publicist, screenwriter and cabaret poet. He is one of the world's most recognised authors.
Turned out I had an LED backwards, and I wired the SPDT switch in the opposite direction than I meant to, but in the end, everything works happily. On to Chapter 4!
A broken payphone and a couple of rusty newspaper boxes sit outside the long closed South Shore Line station at Michigan City.
These animals have specialised in one talent, which is both a blessing and their downfall; as human activities destroy their open habitats, they have less and less opportunity to put their perfect 'design' to use. Cheetahs were once plentiful from Africa to India and across the Middle-East; their status as threatened with extinction is a dour reflection on our treatment of even these iconic cats who have fascinated us since primeval times.
"Así frente a la hostilidad, frente a las formas animales de la tempestad y del huracán, los valores de protección y de resistencia de la casa se trasponen en valores humanos, la casa adquiere las energías físicas y morales de un cuerpo humano.
Una casa así exige al ser humano un heroísmo cósmico, es un instrumento para afrontar el cosmos". - La poética del espacio. Bachelard.

Hmmmm, new boots for placement (they'll be under trousers most of the time and were the best thing I could find as I have awkward feet) - I tried them on for Sam this morning and this is how he described them. Cue many doubts about whether I should take them back.
