When the Music's Not Over

1. As ever, your words soothe my worried mind

Although at 100 degrees in Maine, it’s very hard to keep cool in any way.

Just finished HG Wells’ “Men as Gods.” He seems so prescient, but maybe I should say he was clear-eyed, as he wasn't predicting the future as much as he was discerning about the world around him. So much of the world’s troubles, especially the exploitation of men and nature by the grasping, greedy, wealthy few and the unending horror of humanity’s irrational drive to war, were certainly well entrenched 100 years ago. Always the same story. He tells it well, though, and in 1921 he still had hope we could evolve.

Anyway. I hope you have a good meeting in Binghamton.

That was a terrible storm. My family just had some flood damage. The tragedy in Clark Mills is heartbreaking.
