We ended up at Trick Dog where I encountered a delicious and intimidating head of cauliflower.

Okay, let's hit pause now on berry and vegetable starts. I've made a lot of work for myself.
If you're planning to visit Camp Earnest and want to chip in with some garden help and planting berries, flowers and fruit trees around campus, let me know.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
When when my daughter was born and I first became a father, my friends gave me the nickname "Papa Smurf."
Well our bathhouse at Camp Earnest is going full Smurf, deep blue.
The old laptop and the new one.
The old carried about 20 years of sticker memories. I’ve been saving new stickers for a few years now for this new one.
Present self and memory self.
How do you relate to the selves you’ve been?
There can be no wisdom without restraint.
When will we decide that we have enough and settle into deep satisfaction and sympathetic joy.
Thank you Gaya Herrington.

From STANDING AT THE EDGE: Power, for example, can blunt our capacity for empathy, as if our brain had sustained serious damage. An article in the July/August, 2017 issue of The Atlantic summarized it this way: “The historian Henry Adams was being metaphorical, not medical, when he described
We refer to each other essentially as an "appetite with a wallet."
Nate Hagens is attempting to wake us from the dream of infinitely accelerating consumption, which is also inevitable collapse.
Will wisdom calibrate us towards restraint and care in time?

Sometimes we need to step back and just make sure we're still awake to the world as it is.
Not fear, not fantasy, just meeting life in the moment.

Good People,

OUR MENU:
TO START
Chinese Eggplant and Sichuan Peppercorn Caponata in Purple Endive
This wonderful book has a LOT of words. I couldn't imagine my son sitting still all the way through, almost 20 minutes.
But I got to sit in the massage chair while he sat in my lap and I read him the whole book.
Even better?
We listened to Duke on the massage chair speakers while we read.
But the rules of our economies guarantee intense wealth concentration. They operationalize "greed is good" and then attempt to claw back cash after the fact.
Imagine instead that the operation of the economy itself drove wealth to the middle and prioritized healthy ecologies over profit motive.
There's still great courage and valor in our country.

30 spots left.
The perfect day for a patriotic protest against tyranny in the center of Sonora, and a big exciting win for the San Francisco 49ers!

Devastating. The accelerating erosion of genuine knowledge and critical reflection.
We live in a crisis of the epistemic commons. Fewer and fewer people are able to grasp what is true or real.
Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.
Alison Bing has more talents than I can count.
