A long, but interesting book review, from Jim Bennett.

Too Much Risk Aversion
…is too risky.
Someone should write a book about that.
Chuck Lauer
Rest in peace, and ad astra.
He was about my age. Trying to remember the last time I saw him. I’m sure it was at a conference in 2019, before the end of conferences. I’m sure he’ll be showing Saint Peter the latest Rocketplane business plan.
The Aztec Gods
Thoughts on California’s deranged revival of them.
The Dream Of The 90s
I remember when Nancy moved up there. She told us she was planning it at a Halloween party in 2003 at the late Cathy Seipp’s place.
Mask Mandates
There’s not much science behind it.
Environmentalists
A new project on the harm they cause.
It’s much more about hatred of humanity than it is about the environment.
Death And Lockdowns
They were a policy disaster.
From Cat Lady…
…to dog mom.
We did the same thing when we put Jessica down. The vet told us that it was illegal, but that if we took her with us, she wouldn’t know what we did with her. We dug a hole three feet deep in the back yard (fortunately, it never gets cold enough to make it hard to dig in coastal southern California). But Stella was cremated (we still have the ashes), and Rerun was as well, though we didn’t get the ashes. I don’t want Ashe and Ember, now two years old, to outlive us, but I don’t look forward to losing them, either.
Anyway, Mary Katherine (who I had the pleasure of meeting about fourteen years ago) has had a rough few years, through no fault of her own. I’m happy to see her life back on track.
