An updated version of the “peak oil” story →
Instead of the scenario envisioned by Peak Oilers, I think that it is likely that we will in the very near future hit a limit similar to the collapse scenarios that many early civilizations encountered when they hit resource limits. We don’t think about our situation as being similar to early economies, but we too are reaching a situation of decreasing resources per capita (especially energy resources). The resource we are most concerned about is oil, but there are other resources in short supply, including fresh water and some minerals.

I love our home town →
11,000 people, 3 square miles, founded in 1759… This might be the first package from Serbia handled by the post office, and possibly the first pair of #skochypstiks in our little borough. :D

We had the relatively rare treat of first seeing Notre Dame pre-dawn.

Some day →
I believe that the human race will eventually live in peace. Today, I will be as nice as possible to everyone I encounter, and going forward, I will redouble my efforts to “be the change I want to see in this world.” Strength is important; It enables you to act. Choose the high road. Do the right thing. Reach down to help a fellow human up. Smile more. Choose love over conflict. Choose compassion over hatred.
