Battles have been lost because of mud. Our distaste for it is such that we have practically paved over the whole world. When the wheel was invented no one knew that its nemesis would be mud.

"Pass and pay" is still a quick way to earn some money in many parts of the Philippines!

Really? That is good to know. I'll have lots of questions for you about things like that when I write my novel about my grandmother's life in the Philippines.

Louis-Leopold Boilly is one of my favorite artist. You can read so much into his paintings. They take you to late 18th century early 19th century France
