I'm not sure how to process this. It would be nice if true, but there comes a point when a person has been knocked down so often and so hard that maybe the strength to get back up again is no longer there. And, maybe the person sometimes doesn't deserve to get back up. I don't know. This quote is doing complicated, twitchy, queasy things to my headspace.
2. This article from Sky & Telescope made me happy. I love tingly bits of science magic sprinkled among mundane living!
3. These Sparklife slides are hilarious because they're so accurate.
4. Revisiting this CBC piece about Maria Qamar and Babneet Lakhesar. A must read!
5. This could be my dream home. If only such a treasure were a realistic daydream! It's in my hometown - Pensacola. It's near the beach but inland enough to help ride out storms. There needs to be some additional fencing to divide the acreage. The red outbuilding would be my studio space. I'd expand the animal barn and build a chicken coup. I'd have chickens, pygmy goats, cats, a llama or 2, a dog, and maybe a horse or 2. I'd COMPLETELY redecorate the house. One room would definitely be a dedicated library space. I'd plant a big garden and a pumpkin patch. I'd set up good composting and gray water recovery systems. I'd install solar power, a windmill for generating power, and rain barrels but stay tied into the grid as well (at least in the beginning). I'd have a wood burning stove with a cooktop. Since it's a ways out from both Baptist and Sacred Heart, I'd keep a safely located radius of grass cleared and maintained to be an LZ if the trauma helicopter needed to land because someone had been hurt out in that neck of the woods and needed to be hurried into the city.
(Real estate listings are my internet porn. lol)
