Posted on October 3, 2011 by ehurst

Western Civilization is inherently unsustainable. If the only sin of Greens was worshiping Mother Earth, I would hardly bother with them. Instead, they have hijacked words like “sustainable” as a cover for hating everyone outside their little elite in-group. Anyone … Continue reading →

A Disturbance in the Force

Posted on October 2, 2011 by ehurst

There is a disturbance in the Force, millions of souls crying out. I wish it was that simple, because the reality of such things is more complex. Mostly it’s nearly impossible to explain. All day long there’s been this apprehension, … Continue reading →

Climatic Recompense

Posted on September 26, 2011 by ehurst

We spent the entire summer in drought, with temperatures above 100° F (38C) more than 50 days (our previous record). It was rough, but not dramatic. Rare is the summer we don’t see such temperatures at least some days, so … Continue reading →
