I wonder how many stories King started before he put the kibosh on them? Or if he started something and down the road he said well it seemed like a good idea at the time but...but what?...things took a turn...though he finished anyway?
My uncle was telling me about this old farmer he ran into the other day...92 years old, still making hay on 700 acres. Two years older than Jimmy Carter and Carter is still pounding nails for Habitat. The old buck isn't tossing hay around, but he does cut and whatever...rake it? behind the wheel of a tractor. I wonder what another 25 or 30 years of moderating would do to a person's outlook? Crank up the chipper/shredder more often, maybe. Maybe there'll be a DeathStar in orbit another ten fifteen years down the road...someone logs on w/a bad attitude, dial in some stats, push a button. Suffer the infraction! No syllables for you!
