"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read but not curiously; and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.  Some books also may be read by deputy, and extracts made of them by others."

"Read not to contradict and confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider."

~ Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626) Of Superstition.

"In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too;  to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and the future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line."

~ Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862) Where I lived, and what I lived for.
King Street and Ouse

A Tiny Island is visible where a busy King Street bridge once crossed the river.  The old village shops on King Street eventually became residential and the businesses are now located on Cayuga Street.   Grindstone Creek Gallery ~ noted for its beautiful brick archways ~ is the only shop on King Street today.  The owners, Kimberly and John Jeffrey appreciate the early Cayuga architecture.  They welcome historical photos and stories of the old village.
