 I was struck yesterday, by the way things seem to fit together - for better or for worse. I had an interesting thread of synchronicities over the weekend, involving dreams, a Minnesota Orchestra concert, and an earthquake in Hawaii. More >

An interesting article on Whitley Striber's Unknown Country website about the sate of Vermont: Will Vermont Secede from the Union?.
======================
Update:
More on this from a Google search: "The Republic of Vermont"
Some really interesting results. A lot of political discontent.
I looked through one major website: http://www.angelfire.com/vt/republicvt/
It'll be interesting to consider the implications of this. If Vermont were to secede from the union, then would the US have to militarily occupy Vermont, as they did the southern states 140 years ago? The ramifications are astounding... More >

A couple of days after watching CNN: The Great UFO Debate, I read with amusement, Seth Shostak's article in the SETI Thusrday tab on the space.com website. It was also entitled: "The Great UFO Debate" and in both cases, he decries what he claims is the lack of evidence for UFO's. He essentially demands that proof be waved in his face before he will accept any UFOlogical evidence as valid.
In his article, he says that "UFO Believers" who demand that he do his own investigation before making this claim are treating him unfairly. It reminded me of the proverb "People who live in glass houses should not throw stones". More >

I just got done reading Whitley Strieber's new journal entry: "The Year of the Death Wish." And it is a chilling read. Unfortunately, I beleive it is all too accurate. Read it and cringe. And then act your conscience... More >

I was struck in the last couple of days between the correspondence of recent events, and the passage in the book of Matthew - Mt 24:6-8.
In the NIV Bible this passage reads as follows:
"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains." More >

"We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the very first time."

I spent a wonderful weekend going back to my roots - attending a retreat with a Christian group in which I used to be very active. It was very interesting to see how much they, and I, had changed during the years I had been absent. More >

Gwyn and I just saw the new movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". It was one of the most imaginative pieces of sci fi I think I've seen in quite some time. It was written as if it were SF from the perspective of an earlier era. It had the perspective on the world that might be characteristic of HG Wells, Jules Verne, etc (though the 1930s were somewhat after the time of Vern and Wells). It was truly a moment of sci-fi fun.
