The Land of Oz by Other Means
by L. Neil Smith
Imagine a world, dozens of light-years from Earth, covered from pole to pole with a single species of vegetation. At each of the poles, it thins out so that bare ground can be seen. At the equator, it's six miles deep, and the nature of the surface below is a complete mystery.

The Cult of the State
by Sean Gangol
While skimming through videos on YouTube I have come across several videos that have reinforced the notion of how certain atheists seem to have traded a blind faith in a deity with that of a blind faith in the state. One particular video that I find intriguing was done by a YouTuber who goes by the name of Cult of Dusty. Dusty is what I like to call a redneck atheist, which is actually a rare breed in the secular community. He seems to have a rather large following, but I have been somewhat put off by his attitude.

Nihon Ishigame: One Year Later
by Jeff Fullerton
The end of March which went out like a lamb for a welcome change; was milestone being a year since I wrote one of my first turtle articles for this journal; Nihon Ishigame: An Outlaw Turtle Enthusiast Goes Japanese. Right about that time I ordered 1.2.0 (an adult male / female trio) of Japanese Pond Turtles—Mauremys japonica from a breeder in Florida. Which did not successfully breed that year but after wintering in my garage in similar fashion to the native species I kept in the past—and with a colder hibernation cycle similar to the temperate parts of Japan—and getting settled in—there is renewed hope of producing offspring to one day pair with the 4 juveniles of the same species which I also purchased over the course of last year.

An Historic Shift of Priorities
by L. Neil Smith
Since I became the father of a daughter, some twenty-five years ago, I have been known to observe that if each and every one of us simply focussed on his or her own family, we probably wouldn't have wars or jihads, or whatever else the sociopaths called "leaders" find to distract us from the true priorities in life, from what's really important.

And yes, this issue is late. I been feeling sorta sick. Or at least not well. It's probably just old age, which I'm not used to yet.
