Youth and sardines
I know this is a public forum, but I can't help commenting here on some photos that a certain medievalist posted in another blog, whose name I don't want to remember, of individuals who post here with some frequency. They were taken on a trip to Death Valley perhaps slightly more then ten years ago. What immediately strikes one on seeing these photographs again after long years is our apparent youth and the scruffy, beat-like air with which we carried it off. We look like construction worker amateur botanists on a 5 month pilgrimage to Santiago. There are 99 cent tins of sardines in evidence, if I'm not mistaken, and perhaps even a can of Vienna sausages.

Oh those halcyon days of youth long gone.
The great thing about scruffiness is that, unlike svelt good looks, you can still pull it off when you are older.
