Very interesting discussion of the ant war. His writing of the loon is also very silly

I like how Thoreau writes so much and looks closely about all the little things in life like bubbles in the pond under ice and the animals in the trees. You can tell he spent a lot of time appreciating and thinking about these things and it seems like something people don’t do as much these days.

I like his point about an oil and wine cellar so it will be pleasant to expect hard times. Setting aside something to enjoy in hard times I like that idea. I feel like there is a parallel in modern life.

No offense to Thoreau but I feel like this whole “you don’t need coffee” thing comes from someone who’s had a lot of full nights sleeps. And I know coffee doesn’t actually give you energy and all but still I feel like it’s easy for someone to say they don’t need coffee when they’ve had many consecutive full nights of sleep.

While I approximate Thoreau I don’t think I could give up coffee entirely.
