Merchants of Doubt

I am now the proud owner of this book. I will probably make it a JOAD book.

It explains how a small group of scientists have been undermining the scientific consensus on Climate Change and other earlier issues of concern such as tobacco and cancer, and the hole in the ozone layer.

Decluttering [3]

My round coffee table has been lent to a friend. The old iMac computer is now part of the sound system. The second bedroom is no longer a junk room but still has junk in it.

A local Association [4]

The association was formed and incorporated a few days ago with seven members. We are meeting for the first time in about six hours from now. I am the Chairman (President)

I feel tired again after putting out a lot of energy and not sleeping as much as I need to. I just wrote the meeting agenda from an outline from the Secretary of the Association.

All the other members are new friends, whom I made from running the campaign that I tagged 'nimby' in this blog.

The building that we opposed being turned into a nightclub has been sold to the same interests that we believe were behind the push for a nightclub. So we are not done yet!

Carl Jung speaks...

"The facts of nature cannot in the long run be violated. 


Penetrating and seeping through everything like water, they will undermine any system that fails to take account of them, and sooner or later they will bring about its downfall. 


But an authority wise enough in its statesmanship to give sufficient free play to nature - of which spirit is a part - need fear no premature decline."


(Carl Jung (Collected Works 16:227)

A Local Association [3]

I am tired again because of my many interests. I have met someone whom I would like on the committee of the new association. She has a family and thinks she cannot spare the time but is thinking about it.

I could probably form an association next week but I am trying to approach it slowly after last time. I now have five certain members, of which three are willing to be office bearers. I am turning my thoughts to a website. There are quite a few options and I will seek the advice of knowledgeable friends.

I am already showing the symptoms of burnout again...
