Here is a Brief Autobiography of a Burning Man Participant...
SE SAID: I've been thinking about the fact that this year marks 20 years since the first time I went to Burning Man. 20 years. I can't believe it's been that long. It makes me feel so old. I went to Burning Man 7 times starting in 2001. My last time was 2009. 2001 was magical because it was all so new. 2002 and 2003 were even more magical because I was more prepared. By 2004, I was an experienced desert camper who knew exactly what I needed to do to be comfortable out there in the desert for a week. I would spend all year accumulating supplies for the playa, and participating in different events in the local burner community in L.A., where I lived at the time, including camping trips on lakebeds in the Mojave desert, which have a similar climate to Black Rock Desert. 
I do miss it sometimes, especially when I see posts from my friends who still go to Burning Man every year. I'm so glad I got to go at the time I did, when there was no cell reception out there and you really did have to take a break from technology while you were there. There was something really special about that. I remember the gigantic bulletin board where you could post a note for your friends. It was huge, and it was covered with thousands of notes...but that was what made it special. I always managed to locate the people I was looking for out there, despite the lack of technology, I always found people's camps through word-of-mouth. That was part of the fun, wandering the playa and trying to find people, and meeting other people in the process. Now I hear that people are walking around texting on their phones, and to me that seems like it would take away from the experience a little bit. Part of what made it special was the fact that you were out there in the middle of the desert, far away from civilization, and you had to adapt to this world without phones or technology, and you had to be prepared to survive out there for a week, with all the water and food you would need to get through, and it was so much fun meeting that challenge. I always prided myself on having water leftover at the end, and I also showered every day on the playa. 
20 years. I just can't believe it.

"Make America Greta Again" - Climate Change is Real and Caused By Human Behavior... Here are Some Simple Things We Can Do To Help Prevent Disaster.


Drive Cars Less. WAY Less... The Next Time You Change Jobs, Select a Location NEAR HOME to Reduce Time and Money Wasted Commuting to Work... I was Lucky Enough to Be Able to Ride the Bus to Work in Both Eureka and San Jose, California... It was a LOT of Fun Chatting with the Other Bus Riders... Especially the Beautiful Women... You Can't Do THAT is a Car... 

Stop Flying in Jet Airplanes. Is There REALLY a Need to FLY? Where are You Going that Couldn't Be Done Using a Picture Phone???  Do Your  Business Meetings Online... and Try Your Next Vacation Near Home... Maybe Camping in the Sierras??? Or Hiking the Appalachian Trail???

Eat Fewer Hamburgers... A LOT of Global Warming is Caused by Cows... Maybe Those Meat Alternative are worth Checking Out? OR... Maybe Just Enjoy those Ancient Meals Like a Falafel? Middle Eastern Pocket Bread, Ground Garbanzo Bean Mash Deep Fat Fried, Lettuce, Onions, Tomatoes and INSANELY HOT SAUCE! 

Stop buying New Clothes... Every Time You Buy New, a Corporation Collects Raw Materials, Employs Slaves in Asia to Make the Garment and Ships them By Boat Half Way Around the World and then Drives Them in Trucks to You... Why Not Just Go to Your Local Thrift Store and Buy Recycled Clothes? Our Thrift Store is a Benefit for the Eureka Homeless Shelter. Employing Homeless People and Paying for the Rescue Mission's Food and Rent Bills from their Profits. We Bought a Couch, two chairs, a Piano and Countless Books there... It Wonderful! and they Deliver!

Another Hurricane to hit Florida's Gulf Coast near Pensacola on Monday... Michael predicted to move up the east coast towards Georgia...

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tropical-storm-michael-expected-hit-gulf-coast-hurricane-n917596

Tropical Storm Michael formed near Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, but it is expected to threaten Florida’s Gulf Coast as a hurricane later this week, the National Hurricane Center said Sunday.


The National Hurricane Center forecast that Michael would become a hurricane on Monday, only two days before it is expected to reach the Gulf Coast. The hurricane center warned residents the storm could bring dangerous surges, rainfall and winds.

At my folks house we had a Parakeet named "Pretty Bird", Tadpoles and Tropical Fish.

The bird said the words "Brush Your Teeth". Mom told me that after every meal. The bird heard those words so many times that it became one of it's phrases. It also said "Pretty Bird". Dad raised Tropical Fish. I remember that we had Neon Tetras. He only did it for a couple of years because it was a lot of work to clean the tank and replace the dead fish. He had no talent for raising fish. I remember that it was more fun to go to the pet store than to own our own. The tadpoles I got out of the creek at the end of our street. I brought them home in a jar and kept them in a bucket out back. I saw them grow one leg, two legs, three legs and then the vanished. They just jumped out of the bucket and lived in the backyard. They were still living there today as far as I know.
