“Those born on December 29 are often destined to play a leading role in the life around them. Although they may not desire to be a boss, somehow they are chosen by fate to occupy positions of responsibility. December 29 people have a low-key sense of humor which is not always noticed or appreciated. They may give the impression of being overly serious, but in fact are at heart ironic. Many born on this day have a subdued but potent aggressiveness which makes others take notice out of a mixture of fear and fascination.” — The Secret Language of Birthdays Thanks for the excerpt, GP!

Bob the Dragonfly Bob lives in one of those small cottages near the traintracks that the rich people built for their servants back when it was acceptable and desirable to make them to live just outside the fancypants community. I sure could use a few servants to go with the thirty slaves I have working for me.

“The sense of space, and in the end the sense of time, were both powerfully affected. Buildings, landscapes, &c., were exhibited in proportions so vast as the bodily eye is not fitted to receive. Space swelled, and was amplified to an extent of unutterable infinity. This, however, did not disturb me so much as the vast expansion of time; I sometimes seemed to have lived for 70 or 100 years in one night—nay, sometimes had feelings representative of a millennium passed in that time, or, however, of a duration far beyond the limits of any human experience.” — Thomas De Quincey - The Confessions of an English Opium-Eater
