Dispatches From the Gulf Coast – The Honey Island Swamp
[ad_1] FOR ME, EXPLORATION HAS ALWAYS BEGUN AT CIVILIZATION’S END. In most places, one must retreat from the neon signs and golden arches and fully exit the concrete jungle to find wilderness.

Munchkinville: An Urban Legend of Palm Springs – Did Wizard of Oz Midgets Settle in the Desert?
[ad_1] Munchkinville, Munchkin Land, Midgetville, Midget Town: all are names of a mythical place I’d heard about since I was in Junior High School back in the 1970’s. It was always told about in the second person. Somebody’s brother, uncle, older friend, always someone else had been there. Never the person who was doing the…
Sizing Up Neutron Stars

The Blackening of America and Other Places!
[ad_1] This is not about race; it’s about oil and lessons not learned, warnings not heeded, opportunities lost and a future that is black. Have you noticed that the news is filled with accusations, promises of investigations, commissions being formed, warnings of prosecutions and basic finger pointing?

The Landlords Boot
[ad_1] “Prevention is better than cure.” Nice proverb, but analytical pre-emption is better than both.

Meantime, a lack of urgency placates all but the…
