Re: That's not important - leave it alone.

[Some Trinity spoilers ahead]

This thread had made me think of two items in Trinity that I hadn't
thought much about before. The first is an old favorite, the prohibition
on leaving Hyde Park in a certain direction because of the architectural
monstrosity (I forget the exact building) "you don't want to get any
closer to." It was an arbitrary obstacle that didn't make me think, "Hey,
why not?" Instead, it made me laugh.

The other is the boots and their role in the desert scene. I had always
thought of this as just a puzzle -- I'm only now realizing how important
it was in making the desert seem like a tangibly vast expanse.

I remain convinced that there's no problem like this that can't be solved
with the writing skills of Brian Moriarty.
