Treasures 2008_18


There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island
and at the bottom of the Spanish Main …
and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.


– Walter Elias Disney


These are my Treasures for the past week.

  • Waking up to cuddly cats

  • Our new wireless anemometer

  • License plate on a limo: LAVISH 1

  • Sigg brand sport bottles, "seamlessly extruded from a solid slug" of aluminum. I like the alliteration.

  • The sweet Mallard duck couple at the train station two days this week. The male nibbled my fingers. I fed them bits of a peanut butter cereal bar I had in my pack.

  • Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips

  • Seen from the train – a stretch of telephone wire with 6 pairs of sneakers hanging from it.


Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words.
