Arting! :-)
Huzzah! Got my new Art! page up and pretty much rolling well. There’s a link to it up at the top of every page (between Home and About) so it’s easy to find. Check it out and let me know what you think! ;)

Scarcity mindsets

Most of the time in my life I don’t have to deal directly with the social effects of living in a culture based on a scarcity mindset. During the presidential elections, though, it’s a constant, in-your-face irritation: sort of a “if you’re not for me & mine then you’re the enemy & must die!” attitude….

New Mexico: very weird! part 1
Posted on
New Mexico is a very strange place! It has been consistently so through the years, as far as I know. Many years ago, when I was just out of college for the first time, I and Guthrum (my then-boyfriend) drove my parents’ horse van, complete with their horses, from Texas to Colorado for them, since…

Cave of Forgotten Dreams, pt. 8
Posted on
Alas, it gets worse. The narrator rambles on in the same demagogic vein about the “mutant albino” crocodiles, ending with a close-up shot of one of the small white reptiles staring bemusedly back at us from where it floats in the water, behind glass. Herzog continues with his inflammatory nonsense, wondering aloud: “When” the albinos…
