    I drove up Hamline Avenue north of Highland Parkway yesterday, and the Saint Paul Forest Service has begun the clear cutting of the ash trees to attempt to stop the spread of the emerald ash borer.  The poor street looks so naked — like a new suburb.

    Our way of life has been influenced by the way technology has developed.  In future, it seems to me, we ought to try to reverse this and so develop our technology that it meets the needs of the sort of life we wish to lead.Prince Philip, Men, Machines and Sacred Cows, 1984
