I have practically let this blog go dormant.
Days like this. Am still waking up in America?
Up till now I have been mostly a disinterested observer in the “Trump-Russian Collusion” myth. This morning I briefly came up for air from my three jobs and learned that the offices of President Trump’s personal attorney were raided by FBI agents. Let’s reflect on that for a moment.

The horrors that took place in Parkland, Florida last month have locked onto the public’s imagination and dominated the conversation. The cumulative effect of mass killings on soft targets has clearly taken a toll on our nation. Where does the conversation start? Columbine? Virginia Tech? Continue reading
The Universe is infinite. Most of it is comprised of Empty Space. We tend to occupy ourselves with all that stuff in between. There are some very, very big things out there. Of course every big thing is made up of smaller things.

Time – the non-spatial continuum – continues to hold the fascination of humankind. Last night the population of entire planet celebrated Time.
