Oh baby indeed

Had the good fortune to attend an impromptu stargazing event at the park's observatory last night hosted by the resident enthusiast. Had the misfortune to have it attended by a party with a hacking cough who shared the eyepiece with us all.

This dummy had to participate didn't he?

Meanwhile, back at the Ranch

Today I moved back to LoWs for a week of boondocking to pick up my mail (including a certain eagerly-awaited, hot-off-the-presses, brand new ,whizzbang, tech gadget I had shipped here :-) and to regroup for the next adventure, wherever that takes me.

It's Time to Go Home

The truth about nature is that she is inside us, all around us, just waiting for us to ask her what to do. The truth about civilization is that it was an honest mistake, an invention that was necessary at the time, a mere 30,000 years ago, when nature appeared to be letting us down and we thought we could do better. But now it has outlived its usefulness, and is out of control, and threatens the survival of all life on our planet, so it's time to let it go. It's time to move forward and imagine and invent a new culture, a sustainable one that works for all creatures on Earth, drawing on the best learnings from nature and the best innovations from civilization.

It's time to go home.
