It was due for a refresh, anyway, and I wanted to return to a simpler bit of code. For a long time the idea was to find the art in the simplicity. And then I found some other fancy things and did that for a few years. Like with so many fancy things, there&#8217;s a lot to like, and some elements to tolerate. Ultimately, it comes down to how much coding you want to do, and, again, there&#8217;s something special about doing it all with a little. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">So go check it out<\/a>.

You could drill that out. I&#8217;ve toyed with the idea. I prefer the open ones, but maybe a mud scientist, a pedologist or an edaphologist would like these more. Maybe they could learn something from it. Maybe it was a good year for mud when it seeped into the columns. Maybe it was a bad year for mud when it decided to stay.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/july20\/july49.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>There, I&#8217;ve anthropomorphized mud.
