A week after the election, it-- along with its insane aftermath-- has caught up with me. I've been asleep for hours, and am going to write this and go back to sleep for many, many more hours.
There is crazy news out there, which I'll cover in the future, but it feels like it can wait. The gig is up. Trump is going to smash and grab all he can on the way out... but he IS on the way out.
See you all tomorrow, rested and ready for the future.

Please, dear Professor Richardson, get some much needed rest! Looking at your beautiful image, I'm struck by the fact that the water takes a convoluted path, but the tide does come in and out. Hopefully, this is a good analogy for justice in our country!
Reflecting on what WE can do, right now. Some thoughts.
There is a divide in voting patterns along lines of college eductated vs those with less eduction. Now is the time for all of us to influece the availability of educational opportunities by lobbying our legislators and those involved in administration of colleges and trade schools. America need to build educational infrastructure to guard against a gullible population that is unable to see through propaganda. Also, America needs to educate tens of thousands of people who will fill the new jobs involved in our current and future low carbon economy. Here is Vermont, the biggest road block to adding solar installation and batteries for example, is the lack of an adequately trained work force.
