“When I get back to the house the others are still talking. I add my new things to the collection I already have, take out the dead ones which actually aren’t that many, and go back for some spiders I noticed at the far end of the mustard. And later they’re still at it. Arguing about this and that but it’s not a real argument where people listen and maybe change their minds about things. It’s the kind of argument where everyone is actually saying, This is what I think and I’m not going to listen to what you say because that would be like admitting I’m wrong. Then everyone stops talking. I say, Do it by size. … put the big things on the bottom with the little things on top… pg 92”
