Feb 2016

thinking about gardening .....I'll be putting in a garden, for the first year since my 2001 auto wreck. My sons and daughters are excited about it.

I have some large compost piles. And compost, of course, is but the decayed remains of what formerly lived. That's a rather apt description of the Sanders movement -- bringing forth new life, from the decaying remains of our past society.

Note: My older son, while watching a debate here recently, pointed out that if Trump isn't the republican nominee, a significant number of his supporters will likely vote for Bernie. But it's not possible, in the same context, to see any of them voting for Hillary. I think that's interesting. And potentially important.
