..As I type these words, I am looking at 4 surfaces that would be considered "empty" with place to put more stuff.. One is an old typing table with an old typewriter on it. A bookcase with two sections completely clear of stuff. and some shelves in a storage case that are totally empty. It may not stay that way, but they exist. They exist in a world that is current..
Yes.... these spaces may not exist tomorrow since..." times they are a changing"..
But "Who knows?..The Shadow Knows"
