Iris of the babbling brook Loquacia A checkerboard pattern of climbing vines says ‘no, this is where it’s at, like it or not’, and in a moment without thought, we follow. There are vases of flowers and strange galleries in a house of shifting construction, there are bears riding bicycles in the streets of Toledo and […]

The Epson Ecotank and Unsplash.com
I got an printer from the Epson Ecotank line a while back. Recently I realized that with free photos from Unsplash.com, this enabled me to, if I so chose, wallpaper my home with 8.5″x14″ (legal paper – get it at office depot just like the regular stuff). Since the Epson Ecotank allows you to print […]

Ocean Summit / 30% Protected by 2030 goal
Over 8,000 people attended, with free registration and no travel, something that would have been impossible before Covid moved everything to video conference.

The Dealer of the Cards and the Windows Between Us
While the both of us and the rest were all locked up, ‘freedom’ spoke its little voice, how we had all been wasting her for years and years beyond years. While the people were not of a mind to travel before, yet locked up travel called to them when they were trapped.

I’m updating and improving my blog. A lot of that so far has consisted of purging the archives of poor posts (and many reblogs and others that looked like I didn’t mean to post them at all). I’ve also edited a few dozen of my posts, and kept maybe a couple dozen reblogs. That which […]
