She spends a good amout of time watching the world go by up there. When we took this someone was coming down the drive, this was the split second before she started barking like a mad thing. She is a literal example of life lived in the moment. Our small dog is the planner

One of my favourite books, sure the water divining bit is a bit wierd, rest of the book is great, i liked the characters, its of its age since nuclear war was an immense threat when it was published. At the time it was a fantastic first contact novel and many things it mentions turn up in other books later. The bit about our future selves being incomprehensible was the point.
