October 24, 2025, and ninety-five years ago on this day in 1929, Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote “My Diversions,” an essay prepared for Metropolitan Books. It remained unpublished until it was included in the Burroughs Bulletin Issue No. 53, Winter 2003. The complete essay is available to read at: https://www.erbzine.com/mag9/0948.html
The drabble for today, “Live and Let Live, is 100 words written by Edgar Rice Burroughs for that article.
What do I want? I should like to have a comfortable home and a few saddle horses. I would have no telephone and no radio. I should like to have a single gate leading into my grounds and this gate would be fastened with a padlock which could not be picked or broken, and I should have a sign on the gate that would doubtless be both rude and profane, but it would inform the world that I am minding my own business and suggest that it do the same.
