“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #11
My dad lives in a small town called Mount Sterling about twenty-five minutes south of Columbus, Ohio. Well, he actually lives outside of that small town. He lives on a plot of land with multiple acres, and his land is surrounded by other plots of land, most of which are covered in corn or beans. As I sit out on the deck he built off of the back of our house, I can't help but stare at the miles and miles of corn and beans. It is amazing to see such a thing. Untouched, uncivilized land is a rare thing to come about today and it is truly beautiful.
