dogwood central, a human made island in a sea of citification, and doggone it, i love it, and bless my dog, he loves it too.

i saw Thin Ice last night and stayed for discussion. i was glad for the forum, but saddened that i came away feeling we are still in a death-race of destruction. and dismayed the speaker touted nuclear energy as a viable way forward. it is not. so i feel ambivalent about the evening. my feelings, (maybe i'm just a godforsaken fatalist), go back to thoughts of species suicide, with a smattering of counter, life affirming activity, and a careworn hope mustered in fleeting fashion on facing Dread. i wanted to ask if mr. h. had read The World Without Us. that's a scientific outlook too, rather a prognostication, more in line with my innate feeling about the human world. i felt an odd titillation reading about nature surviving us.
