Abandoned Quote by Whit Griffin
““They found the woman’s body under the porch of an abandoned house,” Mary told me on the second floor of the bookstore. “She had been preparing a meal and discovered she lacked one of the ingredients. She was one her way to the store when she disappeared.” Mary began to sob as she read me the newspaper story. “I just wish I knew what she had been preparing. I want to finish it for her so much.””

![“If I want to spend the rest of my life reading one day's output of information, which is about what it would take, OK fine. But I personally prefer calibration from an aggregator or newspaper, where the No. 1 story is one they consider important, [and] they're usually right.” quote by Harold Evans](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/17f/harold-evans-15687_calibration_if-i-want-to-spend-the-rest-of-my-life-r_193195.jpg)
