UPDATE: FIVE donors have sent enough to cover 15 new gift memberships! Thank you, MS, JS, SL, JW, and FT. 🙂 I’ve extended offers to five likely recipients and hope to hear from others who are interested in joining the Cabal but not able to afford membership on their own. We’ll “bank” any excess funds to help others who come along or to provide renewals for those who can’t afford them.

This afternoon, after putzing at the computer and attending a small holiday festival, I concocted a Virgin Mary and stretched out on a recliner in the back yard. It’s lovely, but it doesn’t feel that summer will be with us very longer. It’s been a muted season, in any case. Not cold, but cloudy and drizzly. The rare occasions the sun’s come out, we’ve been blasted with 95-degree surges, not our usual balmy 70 degrees. But mostly … it’s been just what outsiders think of when they think of the Pacific NorthWET, a land without summer. We already had several…
I’m in one of those moments when life is overly busy and complicated. Happens to all of us, despite our best intentions. (And of course some people — non-me people — actually like it that way.)

They’re just progressing all at once, when I’m more of a one-thing-at-a-time person. In the next couple of weeks, I have to do my part (along with Bill St. Clair and He…
First, thanks for all the advice on hosting sites yesterday. I still haven’t decided, but your recommendations have helped (and are helping) me refine wants and needs for the new site. Right now it’s between HostGator and Hawk Host (recommended by Tom Knapp and Brad R, respectively) and HostWinds (not recommended by anybody but coming up to the top on a lot of my criteria). —– Attended an event yesterday at which the Republocrats and the Democans had competing back-to-back booths. Nice high wall between them to avoid riots among competing factions of statists, but still amusing placement. It was…
Paul Rosenberg: United We Fall. Mass movements and leaders always drag us in the wrong direction. So… So, if you need a pile of bodies to knock down other bodies, unity’s your ticket. If you want a large number of people to turn off their minds and obey you, unity’s also your ticket, especially if you mix in some fear. But if you want, thinking, creative, upright, beneficial human beings, ditch unity and call for self-will. As individuals we rise. United we fall. Didn’t realize Rosenberg also has a new novel out this year. Even though it’s a collapse-of-civilization tale…
