Sent that too soon!

Did you know that JRR Tolkien was basically a philologist and his life-long 
passion was constructing languages and writing systems.  He did not invent 
the Dwarf languages and Elf languages in order to write his novels, rather 
just the opposite, he wrote the novels in order to have some place to play 
with the languages he had devised.

Makes me wonder sometimes in our mechanical fixations that we don't design 
homestreads to have some place to play with machines and thus are 
predisposed to let our imaginations wander into those countless iterations of 
homesteads that do not exist to accomdate machines.


Mornie, utulie,
