When two dice are thrown, the outcomes giving a sum of 8 are (2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), and (6,2)—five possibilities. I know this from the probability chapter, but my mind kept drifting to yesterday, when I was counting five new tin roofs of homestays from our courtyard, their bright blue metal like unnatural dice scattered on the hillside. It felt like a different, less certain sum was being calculated for our valley.
