Ever so very rarely I go through the spice rack and rearrange it neatly. Entropy will return soon enough but for now it’s soothing to gaze upon.

Me: oh wow, this shop has everything my heart desires!

Spooky shopkeeper: yes, I will warn you... every item comes with a price.

Me: yes, I know how shops work

Spooky Shopkeeper: The price may be more than you expect to pay.

Me: Yes, I know how US taxes work, too.

Shopkeeper, increasingly exasperated: I'm trying to tell you that I'm evil and offering these wares with no regard for the harm they will do!

Rare autumn beauty on a Seattle September morning.
A peaceful fall scene taken from a shaded trail. Foreground with trees and house rooftops looking out across a lair reflecting a blue sky with a few small clouds. Wooded hills rise opposite the lake with the Cascade Mountains small on the far horizon.
