EXTREME FITNESS IN EXTREME WEATHER

Extreme fitness begins early. And it’s not difficult. Just get up early. Except in extreme weather, like the prolonged heat wave Arizona lives and works in, you can’t get up early enough. Open a morning door is like standing behind a car exhaust pipe.

HIGH TEMPERATURE TUNED IN, NOW TURN IT DOWN

High temperature during a heat wave is no one’s idea of a good time. Who says, “It’s not hot enough,” during a heat wave? You’ve heard it before: “It’s hot, yes, but not that hot.” Who says that?

HOMEWARD BOUND ON HAWAIIAN WATERS

I felt homeward bound with my head underwater and breathing though a snorkel. No, I wasn’t drowning, just mingling with the fish on Kauai. Lots of fish everyday. So many that you could miss those swimming just under the surface, so look up.

GOING HOME THE LONG WAY

If going home doesn’t bring the warm and fuzzies, you need to review. Are bad memories of a bad home town a problem? You should check your map for the best way to get there. If current times are any measure, being homeward bound is not getting any easier.

CLIMATE WRITING: IS IT HOT IN HERE OR JUST ME?

Climate writing, climate change writing, global warming writing, are all stories to tell. The problem is those telling aren’t doing a very good job. Could I do better? Me? Hell, no. But maybe you could. Maybe you could tell it so it gets under the thick skin of big decision makers? I have ideas to […]

LIFE CHANGES AND WE KEEP UP. DOES THAT SOUND LIKE YOU?

‘Life changes’ sound morbid. When I hear those two words I think something bad must have happened. “We’ve had life changing events,” sounds a little dramatic, like something big happened. But why does it have to be a bad event? And why big? This is a post to celebrate the small life changes, the things […]

SPEAKERS CORNER SPEECH TO THE MASSES

My Speakers Corner speech to the masses didn’t go quite according to plan, which is always part of my plan. Actually, I was prompted to take to the ladder. One prompt and I had my speech ready. But Hyde Park is a long haul from one end to the other. How long? Longer than I […]

Climate Change In My Kitchen Is Real

The first step to take when the air conditioning fails on the hottest week of the year, with an even hotter week on the near horizon? Stop making things hotter. No cooking. Eighty five degrees in the kitchen with nothing on is hot enough. Thinking of baking a polenta pizza? Maybe flattening […]

SCIENCE EXPLAINED TO THE NON-SCIENTIST

Some things need to be taken with a grain of salt, some with a whole salt box, but science explained for the non-scientific? Start shoveling, if general comments mean anything. The Earth Is Not Flat? Yes, it’s a discussion point, but for who? Who hasn’t seen something called a globe and […]

EXPERIENCE: HOW TO TELL ONE THING FROM ANOTHER

1. Visual: one is different than the rest. 2. Material: one is man made. 3. Use: one is decorative. 4. Location: chickens are world wide.
