lines of writing

This is what today's snow did to the roof next door.


And this is what it reminded me of.


It says something about me that instead of wanting to know what the snow on the roof says, I'm far more interested in knowing how its language works.

For most of human history, of course, there was no writing. So what did people read? I have to believe that my reading skills would have been good for something. Tracking animals? Forecasting the weather?
