on communication

two from today:

1. Simon, this morning, appropos of nothing (as far as I could tell). "In olden times, like in 1920, they had letters but they didn't have exclamation points, commas, or periods. You had to guess when the sentence ended."

2. As we pulled up in front of the house we watched a storm coming in. We could see the dark grey clouds, we even saw some flashes of lightening. Then the wind picked up. Simon: "The sky can't talk so it uses the wind as a message."
