Two points,

1) Every person has a mental point of stable equilibrium, the ultimate position of balance that can only be achieved for a moment before inertia wins and everything collapses. For me, this point came when I was walking alone in a deep-cut desert canyon, floored by sandstone slabs that rasped against each other under my weight. That sound called me back to a cold winter day when I was 13, when my best friend and I crossed the barbed wire fence onto my neighbor's property to slide around on the thin ice left at the bottom of a drained pond. After a while we jumped until we cracked the ice, and then levered a big piece off of the dark clay. Underneath, hundreds of salamanders wriggled slowly, freed from their cold compression but doomed to dessication and death by exposure. When I walked on those sandstone slabs in that hot, quiet canyon, I felt as if I was grinding desert salamanders into dust.

2) With the Queen's express permission, I will find my way to O'Briens for Parasitic Extirpation on the 8th, possibly with some fine herb. Perhaps some hardy midshipmen will find profit in this enterprise?
