Global Warning?

Climate change is in the news. And it’s not just the UN Climate Change Commission in Bali, which recently completed negotiations for its new Bali Roadmap, the successor pact to the Kyoto Protocols regarding greenhouse gas emissions, slated to go into effect in 2013.

My surfboard is woven of millions of tiny threads of wisdom, cemented by the love with which I am gratefully surrounded. Without it I could not withstand the endless pounding of the waves – ultra-strangeness in the world, as well as in my own life. My toes grab hold, the wax which is [...]

Comet Holmes & etc…

Just a couple of things this morning before I’m off for the day…

 

Wanted to get a note in about Comet Holmes‘ spectacular and mysterious ignition. Google it and you’ll find all sort of other sites talking about it. This one caught my attention – I know, again [...]

Aloha all, here is a link to my interview with Occult of Personality.

2012 Hype?

USA Today recently published an article about the recent flurry of speculation surrounding December 21, 2012, which is the date the Mayan “Long Count” calendar is set to end. Many people believe it will be the ‘end of the world’, while others scoff at this notion. Some say it’s just the end [...]
