Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Your next 3 minutes

  A fellow blog site shared this old but true video. He/she titled it The Best Speech about Humanity.



A bit over 3 minutes.

Enjoy.


Today's quote:

The trick, it seems, is to be able to hold both things very close – the gratitude and the misery – and then, with a semblance of faith, to let them fly.

  4. I really enjoyed that piece by Carl Sagan. It reminded me that when I was upset I would look at a globe I had, then find the US, then find my state, then find my town, and by then it was not even a dot and I was not upset anymore because I realized it could not be that important. Now, I don’t think as Sagan, I believe there are other beings living on other planets, somewhere…

    1. I agree with you that there is definitely life in different forms than the great diversity which has evolved on our blue dot. It's too big a universe to not have happened many times over.

  5. That is quite something to provoke thought.
