It is difficult for me to walk to the river. The murder was fairly easy, but what am I to do with the body? (Isn’t that always the problem?) I shall have to load it in that rusty old wheelbarrow and limp down to the river. I could carry it on my back, I suppose, like Atlas carrying the weight of the earth. How long could I last at that? Not… ## [(untitled)](https://putah-creek.tumblr.com/post/824308391615905792) _2026-08-07 · Putah Creek_ Pre-cracked eggs. Tripping balls in Oklahoma.

Then, damn secret, it hides its face among the cattails and reeds in the silent and still slough. This is the weakness often ignored by people. Cranes wade in their grayness, perfect and complete. Whole. Free. The slough leads to the river, and the river to the ocean. The secret wades… ## [(untitled)](https://putah-creek.tumblr.com/post/824027474759434240) _2026-08-04 · Putah Creek_ Pre-toasted bread. Paul Desmond and Chet Baker.

There aren’t many rules. The mind expands like popcorn in a microwave even as the body dissolves into a puddle of ache on the polished floor. When we can, we step around this puddle, and when we can’t, we raise our pants up a little. We must not soil our clothes in the liquid debris of aging. Tell me, shall we add butter and salt… ## [One OS for your AI workforce (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/rlVT0ooznlot) _2026-08-02 · **Sponsored**_ Build, direct, and supervise an AI workforce from a single operating workspace. ## [(untitled)](https://putah-creek.tumblr.com/post/823857527416602624) _2026-08-02 · Putah Creek_ Dōgen.

You are walking, although you have no destination in mind. That is a good thing. Don’t try to look too far ahead, just enjoy the scenery. Smile at people as you pass them by. The sky is so fine, both with sunlight or moonlight. The trees are soldiers standing at attention for you. The birds are there to please you. An ocean? A river? That is for the music… ## [(untitled)](https://putah-creek.tumblr.com/post/823664898476261376) _2026-07-31 · Putah Creek_ Ticks in Virginia. The Surfin’ Bird.

The map That I made of your body is drawn On onionskin paper and stored in the warmest corner Of my old soul. We have gathered a life around us And built a world from our dreams of long ago. Every morning when I wake the first voice I hear Is yours, and it is the last voice at night. We are the whole of marriage, a body of love Made… ## [(untitled)](https://putah-creek.tumblr.com/post/823576713950871552) _2026-07-30 · Putah Creek_ Potato Palooza. Celebrity Tattoo.

Slice open the moon and what might you find? The heart of a human being? The dead eyes of a shark? On small slips of the sun you can write a word or two about hope, praising life, or releasing the guilt that you don’t need to carry, then fold the slips in two like paper. You can put… ## [(untitled)](https://putah-creek.tumblr.com/post/823484846177402880) _2026-07-29 · Putah Creek_ Too Much Coffee Man. Freddie King plays the blues.

Today’s insanely long installment concerns a major prize which I was told I’d won back in February, but for which I turned out not to be eligible because unable to promote the prize to their satisfaction. I have held off posting this, since the prize was to be confidential until its announcement on April 8. On… ## [So long, Onetel](https://paperpools.blogspot.com/2025/04/so-long-onetel.html) _2025-04-18 · Helen DeWitt · paperpools_ I've had the email address hdewitt@onetel.com since 2002 or so. Since then I believe onetel has been taken over by Talk Talk. For a while Talk Talk continued to support legacy email accounts, but they have finally decided to discontinue them. That is, I thought I had managed to confirm the account with them, but now I can't log into it, so it looks as though it has been discontinued. Unfortunately… ## [types](https://paperpools.blogspot.com/2025/03/types.html) _2025-03-13 · Helen DeWitt · paperpools_ \[A reader mentioned a post in which I had talked about Mark Girouard's Life in the English Country House. Couldn't find it on the blog; discovered I'd reverted it to a draft, for reasons I now can't remember. Am republishing since it seems a shame to suppress discussion of LIECH. Just a reminder that when I say, for instance, that I've just been reading LIECH, this was written back in 2012 or…
