We are dog sitting for 5 days. You begin to realize how people can get attached to their pets. This little guy has a mind of his own and is fun to be around. #dogs #pets

I wonder if the USA would lend Ukraine all those military aircraft that have flown to the Middle East just for a few days? How wars and threat of wars create an insanity and death.

The world's sunlamp rises toward mortals
By various paths, but the one that fuses
Four circles with three crosses

Takes the best skyway and is linked To the best star and sets and seals The worldly wax more in its own image.

Dante
trans. Mary Jo Bang

Spring, so generative!

Have to start reading more fiction books. Reading nonfiction with large bibliographies and notes takes you twice as long to get through.

What I want when I read the news - an unbiased writing of a witness to the facts of the event reported.

I do not want someone's opinion, a person's view or some underlying editorial or political bent.

“But you don’t need to be lonely or obsessive for the bots to interpose themselves between you and the people around you, providing on-demand conversation, affirmation, and advice that only other humans had previously provided.”
“The Age of Anti-Social Media Is Here”
The Atlantic (December 2025)

So now "...conversation, affirmation and advice..." can come from non-humans?
John Ruskin’s term for describing inanimate things in human (emotional/intentional) terms as the “pathetic fallacy.”

One needs to look at this problem from a historical perspective. Draining this area for farmland was never initially done correctly. From the start one hundred years ago funding from all parties was a problem. It continues today. Before the farmland it was one of the largest fish and bird habitats on the Pacific coast.

“…there’s a huge blind spot in the language of emotion, vast holes in the lexicon that we don’t even know we’re missing. We have…only a rudimentary vocabulary to capture the delectable subtleties of the human experience. Words will never do us justice, but we have to try anyway.”
