off to the west

I am in LA right now, in the lowest level, the History Section, of their Central Library. I was quite impressed with the space and the size of the library. Very Classical California, probably the opposite of the Seattle one. Well, that's it for now. I want to share two quotes hanging in my mind right now. One is from Braudel and the other one is from Mr. Moses.

"Simplicity - not simplicity that distorts the truth, produces a void, and is another name for mediocrity, but simplicity that is clarity, the light of intelligence." - Fernand Braudel 1900s AD (a translation from French).
