A Fine Story of a Great Woman
This is a wonderful essay on the life of a woman struck down by a terrible mental illness.
I see these late teen patients going south and it’s a heartbreaker. Schizophrenia is an awful thing.

Philosophy, Theology, Science ? Take an Aspirin.
Some might say this essay is the classical way that philosphers get people glassy eyed.
Recently I have read a lot of CS Lewis’ serious books, not Narnia stuff, and he gets me glassy for sure.

Enviro Rankings according to Yalies
The Yale international rankings of enviro quality show something that we talked about in the past, the Kuznets Curve in enviro quality.

This coal ash lagoon is on the site of an old coal plant, now fired with natural gas. A pipe collapsed under the lagoon and the spill went into the Dan River in Northern North Carolina at Eden.
