Foscue Creek, Demopolis AL, December 12, 2007
Later: As I expected the furnace air intake and combustion chambers were full of wasp and mud dauber nests. What a mess and what a job to clean them all out. I had to take the furnace out of the cabinet and disassemble a lot of parts to get the chambers free so I could bang, poke, prod, and shake the nests all free and break them up enough to get them out through the openings. In addition the burner needed a good cleaning as well. I got the puppy all reassembled and back in place just before dark. Set the thermostat and turned her on - no fire. We got a fan but no fire. Fooey.

A Theory of the State
States have a peculiar dual character. They are at the same time forms of institutionalized raiding or extortion, and utopian projects. The first certainly reflects the way states are actually experienced, by any communities that retain some degree of autonomy; the second however is how they tend to appear in the written record.
