Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind. The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with start up like sharpshooters. Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.” <br/>― Honoré de Balzac</span></p> </blockquote>http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50960883310http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50960883310Mon, 20 May 2013 22:54:48 -0400coffee<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/50740ca67e6f56f8eea7977b3417ae95/tumblr_mmumgumnpA1qlioplo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pascalcampion.tumblr.com/post/50503531425/ginger-the-third-one-in-the-kitchen-series" target="_blank">pascalcampion</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Ginger, the third one in the kitchen series</p> </blockquote> <p>the gathering of good friends baking and drinking wine one of my favorite activities </p>http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50960840551http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50960840551Mon, 20 May 2013 22:54:17 -0400artfriends<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ede322a8c59bcbad659e78774e950d22/tumblr_mkv7gk2NNr1qejvrxo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50960344371http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50960344371Mon, 20 May 2013 22:48:17 -0400clouds<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6bc6a9177a1be4459a62772cae364652/tumblr_mmzwory79q1s55dbfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeflextech/8750704950/" title="14-3 (1 of 1)" target="_blank">14-3 (1 of 1)</a><span> on Flickr.</span></p>http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50957525246http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50957525246Mon, 20 May 2013 22:14:46 -0400dogwoodspring<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/4e3e076d3e5c947d3f45f7f771ea287b/tumblr_mm435kVcJD1qkpa6wo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>high school vibes</p>http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50954074349http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50954074349Mon, 20 May 2013 21:33:53 -0400blink 182<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b2163273472fed57439e7d6890ef4725/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/42b7935394e103661224ea9347b76cff/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0401d5ebb32f8c9c23faa730f69b4a10/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c1881ed23ac8f5327f314794d1fe6369/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/459ba3716174510ec853aa20759393ca/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2e4694b900ae9326d46d49c0f5aa37f6/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/57d104af898e8df695f354ace1ded1a1/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/47a2a49d0fbf2492e9db17813182891f/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/08bdd4e795c25c1487f953eba59e1612/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/499a0d974d6fbf558c0d91c52f6885f9/tumblr_mlsxzrT5CK1s9cssro10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.itsokaytobesmart.com/post/50864742987/the-chemical-formulas-of-various-substances-used" target="_blank">jtotheizzoe</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <div><em>The chemical formulas of various substances used to mimic plant-based aromas and flavors. </em></div> </blockquote> <p>Tastes like science.</p> </blockquote>http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50871487445http://tkowal.tumblr.com/post/50871487445Sun, 19 May 2013 21:36:46 -0400sciencetastedesign<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f992910b0cd0f07e1ceeafee3add78e6/tumblr_mn2gveusaQ1qdb2suo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ecocides.tumblr.com/post/50857057928/magicicada-septendecim-cicadas-are-pictured-in" target="_blank">ecocides</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Magicicada septendecim cicadas are pictured in West Virginia.
