Substacking
I have started a substack, Substack-ships on Fire . You could subscribe, if you like!
I have spread myself across a large number of blogs over the years, and it has it has not been the most efficient use of my time and energies. I should consolidate. To that end I'm going to take some of my other blogs private. In the case of blogs that have run their course anyway, such as my H G Wells blog Read more of this blog post »

“Do you know where the past and the present intersect?" Jac asked him.
"Where?"
"In your mind, only. It's the only point. Otherwise, the past is further away than the furthest galaxy.

Another name for that irrevocable gap between past and present is -- freedom.”
