...learn to live creatively with less consumption...learn to value life by different markers... no more subsidies for monocrops... U.S. oil peaked in 2000... need federal support for local foods networks.... growth has occurred for 100 years on the back of petroleum, it is a finite resource, and now we're struggling to get it... wealth disparity contributes to the problem... three indicators before a period of famine:...

debunking misinformation about oil
Robert Rapier who writes the R squared energy blog pointed out this article in the Huff Post.
yes, I'm back. it was wonderful. What a treat to meet and spend so much time with various artists- Dustin and Nim, their friends in the various places, my friends old and new in Berlin and London- truly the way to travel. No, I didn't see buckingham palace, but I did have a lovely conversation nearby with my friend in a crazy posh apartment with animal heads. No I didn't see the shards of the berlin wall, I had dessert and wine with three artists and a chef, comparing cultures, histories, politics, passions. I walked through a vibrant art quarter in London with a fashion designer, eating bagles and spotted a small parade of loveliness including a well-known queen in a full-length pink feather cape. and caught a cold from sharing so many spliffs. oh well.
so I'm on facebook, and photos are there. I see facebook as a necessary evil to keeping up with certain friends in a more consistent, less focussed way. I really don't like their privacy policies. I look forward to using the decentralized network that Nim's friend Max Ogden is writing. No monolith.
The day after returning, I tore the kitchen apart. Mama bought me a new energy star refrigerator and a proper range-top to replace the 1950's beast of a free fridge and gutless hotplate that I've been using. With the construction of a shed this year, the bisque kiln is now out of the single room in which I work and also live (hooray!), and that corner is being claimed as a kitchen. I will now have the facility to cook for more than two people, so I look forward to hosting dinner parties like I've so enjoyed in the past.. ( the most recent one was three years ago in which I made french onion soup which took all day on the hotplate, and then used the bisque kiln to broil the cheeze on top- )
happy thanksgiving, all! truly, it is a generous world. (if you don't ask for too much)
