When I’m sorry a book ends, I know it was good. I liked Frank Schaffer’s Crazy for God. His honesty, self-deprecating humor, gentle critiques of his Christian context, and scathing rebuke of those who co-opt Christianity for partisan divisiveness - all make me admire him.
This may be my last Good Earthkeeping Tools and Trends. KSKQ has changed the two-hour Morning Show, changing the first hour to Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! After three years of bringing in such tools and trends, I may start an evening radio show, The Liberal Hour, or invest my time in other related ventures.
Zero Energy House I interviewed David Landry on 9-4-18 at KSKQ Radio (89.5 FM, 94.1 FM, and KSKQ.org) about the highly efficient house he designed and had built.
“My Goddess Gave Birth to Your God” reads the bumper sticker. The growing notion that God is not just and only male is well known in our UU churches and in other niches in society. Feminism has grown with us for decades and centuries. Gradually, it spreads around the world, bringing women status, freedoms, compensation, and rights in societies where patriarchy has ruled unquestioned for millennia. We need the Divine Mother, not just Our Father. But let’s also be careful to not just honor the…
While CNN, Forbes, MSNBC, and Business Insider all jump on Elon Musk and Tesla as if he and it are about to fail, Tesla keeps making cars and money. Short-sellers bet against such companies, hoping they’ll fail. Perhaps some promote negative stories to push that process. But Tesla keeps winning.
Here's some of what I've posted online during August. (Climate Comments, The Raccoon Saga, Stop-if you-must) all the while also painting my house with three colors, all purchased inexpensively because they were returns. Here's my front door: Same day to Cleantechnica forum on EPA potential overrule of California standards, specifically a photo of a big pick-up belching out black smoke, saying “Fuck you, earth” and a second photo of a huge hurricane, saying, “Well, fuck you, too.” Laurence Jenner IMPOed • 6 days ago That whole Mad…
If interested, here's what I sent out on-line to various forums or other communications. 7-8-18 to Cleantech on Tesla Short Sellers, specifically deliberate slam piece by New York Times Wallace neroden • 2 days ago The New York Times hit piece on Tesla had its reporter claiming that he couldn't easily make the trip. Here's a partial list of what the reporter did in order to make a story about running out of juice... "As the State of Charge log shows, the Model S battery never ran out…
Every Tuesday morning I report at KSKQ radio about those policies and technologies that are helping rescue our environment (or that hurt it). I've decided to post them here (Sorry the formatting is lost; I can't lay it out in a more attractive way): KSKQ 7-3-18 Good Earthkeeping Tools and Trends May was the fourth warmest May on record since measurements started in 1880. Now, some 6,300 metrological stations take the measurements. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2750/may-2018-was-fourth-warmest-may-on-record/ The ice is melting in Antarctica far faster than usual. Combined measurements…
Don't let the lovely sunset image fool you. Taken weeks ago, the smoky skies here have gotten worse. There are fires all over the west coast, burning the grasses, trees, cars, and houses in their way. I recently tried to escape to Mt. Shasta, but it was as bad there; it is impacted by fires up near Ashland and a huge one down at poor, hot Redding, California. There have always been fires. There have always been storms. There have often been heat-waves. What gets…
I have a new tagline on my outgoing emails: “We are born of Eden and for it.” The more I learn about our garden planet the more I am astonished and in love. I am in awe at whatever mystery and wonder that brought creation into existence. Why is there something rather than nothing? I hope there’s a God to hear my gratitude. I want to take in Eden fully and treat it with reverence, responsibility and joy. I thank whatever Creator may be by…
