Places: The Farm
A farm includes the passion of the farmer's heart, the interest of the farm's customers, the biological activity in the soil, the pleasantness of the air about the farm - it's everything touching, emanating from, and supplying that piece of landscape. A farm is virtually a living organism.

Planets: Uranus
A human being born at one of Uranus's poles would be a middle-aged man at sunset and a very old man before it was time for a second sunrise.

Board Games: Scrabble
Whoever dreamed up Scrabble had an exaggerated idea of how many 7-letter words have five i's.

Media: Floppy Disks
Not born to be rich, by 1981 I had nonetheless begun to use a PC that required for its operation the absorption of several hundred pages of protocols and the placement of very large floppy disks in the freezer to fix frequent crashes.

Planets: Saturn
The Saturn system is a rich planetary system. It offers mystery, scientific insight, and obviously splendour beyond compare, and the investigation of this system has enormous cosmic reach... just studying the rings alone, we stand to learn a lot about the discs of stars and gas that we call the spiral galaxies.

Media: Cassettes
Tonight, I feel like my whole body is made out of memories. I'm a mix-tape, a cassette that's been rewound so many times you can hear the fingerprints smudged on the tape.

Places: The Circus
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.

Planets: Jupiter
Jupiter, a world far larger than Earth, is so warm that it currently radiates more internal heat than it receives from the Sun.

Due to the surge of bots on the blog's followers, I've implemented an extra hard 'Look like a bot in any way, you're blocked and reported' stance from now on. I work with data all day every day, people, and have been here 10+ years - I recognize when patterns in gained followers, account names, and accounts followed come up.
Sorry in advance to legit blogs who get caught in the crossfire. Every analyst is not without their flaws.

The theatre is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time.

Planets: Mars
The thing that sets Mars apart is that it is the one planet that is enough like Earth that you can imagine life possibly once having taken hold there.

Flowers: Daffodils
I have seen the Lady April bringing the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the soft warm April rain.

How do you get crucifixion, resurrection and then chocolate bunnies, colored eggs?

Metals: Aluminum
Aluminum is at once as white as silver, as incorrodible as gold, as tenacious as iron, as fusible as copper, and as light as glass. It is easily worked; it is widely spread in nature, alumina forming the bases of most rocks; it is three times lighter than iron; in short, it seems to have been created expressly to furnish material for our projectile!

Metals: Gold
Gold is forever. It is beautiful, useful, and never wears out. Small wonder that gold has been prized over all else, in all ages, as a store of value that will survive the travails of life and the ravages of time.

Places: On the Ranch
...the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space.
