Planet's Revenge

I took this photo one morning in spring in Claremont, Calif. It made me think of the world of the not-too-distant future, when our species is finally and thankfully extinct and the earth reclaims itself by devouring all the industrial junk we've heaped upon it.

But then, every fall the leaves dry up and blow away, revealing a blank wall for much of the year. Just as the seasons change, so does hope spring eternal for the future of humankind.

The New Reality

I have no idea why I'm doing this. Who cares what I think or write? I heard yesterday a new blog is created every seven seconds and there are now millions of them. Pretty soon everyone on the planet will have one and we can all get to know one another without ever seeing or speaking to one another. But then, a lot of what's out there is by people who aren't who they say they are anyway. Is that possible? Oh, yeah, this is no longer "new media"; it's the "new reality."
