So this is one of those rabbit trails I have no idea will come between the first and second cup of coffee in the morning browse. From the Anthropocene Magazine link called provocatively “Making Nature Pay for Itself” I followed…
My morning pages sometimes get out of hand. What can I say? I’m hearing conversations with inanimate objects now. So lock me up. They ended up, one atop the other, in the back of my car, both bound for the…
It’s a niche interest, maybe; geeky, if you will. But I continue to explore ways that the computer keyboard and monitor that most of us have in our homes these days can do a better job of gathering information and…
These are the things that I tell myself every morning are in limited and consistently depleted supply. Every morning, this reality should drive me to the top of my task and projects list. And almost every morning, instead, I’m not…

Just got back from her regular and my sometimes early morning walk around the “middle road” above Nameless Creek. As usual, I took my pocket camera (Powershot G7X) but never took it out of that storage location. My “phone” OTOH…
I just noticed last night- -though it had probably been ramping up for a week or more–that the insect noises out our back door were deafening after dark. I came back in for my iPhone to record a snippet but…
Now that I’ve lost you with the very title, let me say as little as possible so as to move onto other things. I’ve been interested–and concerned–about the fragility of our way of life that, like it or not, has…
