Mycological Mystery

What are these? Can I eat them? Will they change my whole perspective on shit?

"This is that older world, that we're cutting the metabolical tradition cord from. And I now know, and as we go on more and more, as you stay with me, as we get to the right efficiencies which can be employed, we have the designing capability, I can say, by and large, I now know absolutely, incontrovertibly, the technique of how to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than anybody has ever known. We'll get into much more of that. I know how, and we've been through this project here with Meddy Gable and the last seminar in Pennsylvania this year on energy, we now know exactly, it's all spelled out, the engineering is there, the resources are there, the know-how is there, completely spelled out incontrovertibly that by l985 we can have all of humanity enjoying the same energy advantage enjoyed by the United States, absolutely exclusively in 1972 the whole of humanity enjoying that advantage, while completely phasing out all fossil fuels and all atomic energy. We now know how to do it. And I now know then it is highly feasible to take care of all humanity and all of its generations to come at a higher standard of living than anywhere ever known. So I know that politics are invalid, I know that war is invalid, I know that weapons are invalid, and I know the lying is invalid. It doesn't work there is nothing out there. I can understand how it got in all of those things, but they are now through. But the question is how quickly can we get all of humanity to know this is so." - Buckminster Fuller

I've been working on models for a better frame for the structure and am weather pending on fitting the first cover. I've also been working exercising my sense of aesthetic and proportion by building scale models and even sand sculptures

Falconer

I came upon a bird who was curious enough to jump on a stick I put in front of him. And in so doing I join the ranks of falconers - that guild of royalty who have captured and trained raptors to extend their hunting faculties. Not quite an eagle, falcon or hawk, this little raptor is quite adept at finding worms and seeds. And so perhaps not enough to sustain the two of us -
