the great safe guard of society was that opinions were not acted on.

I've been returning to my childhood/adolescent passtime of reading things waaaay over my head, this time in the form of Middlemarch by the great George Eliot. I have a feeling I will be milking my way through this one for a while.

I stole one of her lines there for my title today. Very clever. And kinda pertinent to where I am in my life right now. The rest of the quote goes like this: "Sane people did what their neighbors did, so that if any lunatics were at large, one might know and avoid them."

The one thing that people we meet and get to know tell me and Mike is that we are "interesting", which usually means that we end up saying things or doing things that people aren't expecting us to say or do.

Anyway, good or not, that quote really hit with me. And made me laugh. Cause, crap, but if I'm not the lunatic.

And..... I about killed myself with my three mile run this afternoon. It's really gotta stop being so darn hot! Except, not really, because my second round of peas and beans need to finish and give me lots of happy vegetables.
