I watched John Oliver tonight, for a change, and he discussed the housing crisis. The Left sees material inequality as the great evil and is usually more interested in fighting that than tyranny. Tonight, however, Oliver was more in line with the Father in his thinking than some(myself included) Christians. God really does desire and mean that, "There need be no poor people among you" and "In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree". The American Dream.
A close family friend that we used to sail with. His kids posted this today and it was too good not to share!

Thinking about Julian Assange today, and the state of speaking Truth to power in the west.
The man has been held in a maximum security prison, with no charges, no trial, no rights, and no voice.
And his crime is exposing the war crimes and corruption of the U.S. government.
In a way, Julian Assange is the Security State taunting all of us, saying, "If you tell the truth about us, we will break the law to destroy you."
Im going to keep living my life, but Im not going to forget this.

@MaryMamuzich How are you and are you being affected by the floods?

Another tiny yacht I love:
Trekka, just 20 feet six inches long, designed by Englishman Laurent Giles (for 50 quid) and built at the back of a fish and chips shop in Victoria, British Columbia, by a then 23-year-old John Guzwell.
Between 1955 and 1959, Guzwell sailed Trekka around the world, then wrote a classic book about it.

Daniel Nocera: Fuels and Food from Sunlight, Air and Water
@mary bought me a box of 5th Avenue bars as a surprise because she knows I love them and that they are nowhere to be found in Colorado these days. She even got them shipped to an Amazon locker that was supposedly inside and out of the heat. Sadly, locker was not inside and we got a bunch of non-refundable chocolate puddles. To our shock and delight, they reconstituted almost perfectly in the refrigerator! #firstworldproblems

I'm still messing around with paper data storage because it is so practical and fascinating. If you ever want a copy of Eisenhower's D-Day speech, look no further. Just laser print it and store.

You will need this to decode it after you scan it.
Weeds are amazing.
“But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
-Matthew 24:13
The end of an era. To go from a tavern-like house setting to a cold boxy commercial joint seems like a step down.

A friend from college - Ned Freed has died
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Freed
I graduated in 1978 from Harvey Mudd College and he was three years behind me. But I came back a couple years later to run the computer center (a VAX-11/780) and saw him graduate.
I gave him some software products to help kick start Innosoft - the company he started with a couple other students. Eventually sold to Sun / Oracle.
He was a coauthor of the MIME spec used in billions of computers today.
