A Love Letter to the Days of Future Past
I was born in 1960, at the very start of that decade of change. I am part of what is sometimes called Generation Jones, essentially a Boomer, but too young to have dropped acid in the 1960s, and too old to be part of Generation X. I am therefore one of those people whose ’60s were really the ’70s, and for most of my life I have thought this meant I got the worst of both worlds. It was common, among my cohort, to feel that we had missed the good stuff. There was a sense something incredible had passed […]
Hating Trees
When did it start? When did men begin to think of trees as adornments to their pride or fortune? Was it when the lighthouse at Alexandria was built to guide ships to the harbour so commerce should not be hampered by mere geography and the fall of night? Some say the lighthouse was built to tell the world of the greatness of the Ptolemaic King Ptolemy II. But it also displays the hubris of men.

Where Then Shall Hope and Fear—
On 3 April 2020, US Democrat and presidential hopeful Joe Biden—or more likely one of his team of social media minions—tweeted: ‘Now more than ever, we need to choose hope over fear. We will beat COVID-19. We will overcome this. Together.’ It’s hard not to appreciate the banality of this little squitter.
