Frank Herbert...

...is the author of the Dune Chronicles science fiction books,
which I have never read and so won't hyperlink. Frank Herbert says, "There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story." Mr. Herbert and his quote were revealed to me when I ran an internet search for "quotes about endings," since it is the one-year anniversary of the apocalypse. I intended to shut down this particular blog until well after the start of 2014, when a new theme will reveal itself and I will do research about it and report my results on a URL different from but similar to this one.

Hopefully that theme will be something that lends itself well to a rock-climbing class.

Suggestions are welcome. In fact I will post a call for suggestions on my facebook page. Perhaps something nice and simple like, "I do things." It has been fun pontificating about the end of the world with my few loyal readers. I enjoy the fact that I have an internet archive of apocalyptic hysteria that hopefully some students of the future will be able to use when they look back on the beginning of the 21st century.

In the meantime, Happy Anniversary of Narrow Escape.

I am confident that I will be alluding to this blog on any future URL that I might use, and I look forward to seeing you there.

I'll keep you posted.

And if you happen to be in Northwest Indiana, I hope to see you at the Shiloh show tonight.

Now that November is over...

I'm going through all of the random photos I took. These are my carrots. This proves that it is possible to grow things in the ground, although not quickly enough to feed you if you wait until the apocalypse to plant your veggies.
