If you chart out the antenna on a map, they look like a growing cell culture. Several seperate blobs to start with. As the cell gets busier, they add antennas- either nearby or even on the same tower. In our cell culture, this is a growth phase- cells dividing, growing, filling in the space. With radio towers, you really could not do this- if they crowd together, it adds noise to the signals and causes problems, so you end up with areas with poor radio (or beeper) reception.

Just look at the first line of his book “A Tale Of Two Cities” for instance: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.” That first line goes on and on and on so that one has to make stops to breath in air before reaching its end. Run-on sentences is what many of Dickens’s books are made of. Here’s another of his typical sentences: “I had no advice, no counsel, no encouragement, no consolation, no assistance, no support, of any kind, from anyone, that I can call to mind, as I hope to go to heaven!” Maybe in his time (1812-1870) the verbose sentences of Charles Dickens were acceptable, but very few have the time it takes to read one of his stories today. If all the windy run-on were removed from one of his stories, his stories could be told in half the words and half the time. Publishers today do not accept windy prose. His sentences are good teachers for someone learning to write details into their stories. On the other hand, readers today would be nearly tortured to death by boredom, with the giant waste of time inherent in his long-winded sentences. He was popular in Europe and America and probably other parts of the world, too. Charles Dickens was a very wordy writer.

Tolkein Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Leaves of Grass by Whalt Whitman Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie In Cold Blood by Truman Capote Of Mice and Men by John Steinback Walden and Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau I love the Transcendentalists. Also everyone should read Republic by Plato because as Emerson points out it encompasses every book ever written. My Favs:
