Back from travels with a book to review

Dang, I go travelling for a few days and was mostly offline, and then try to get caught up.

I was asked to review a book written by someone who has been lurking my posts for a long time, and nails a lot of my geopolitical views. I’ll read and review his book, hopefully before Christmas. He sent me copy of his book to review. Looks to be right up my alley.

Was invited to speak live at another conference, this one in the UK for Environmental Science and Engineering (including energy). Not sure if can go, October next year. Maybe.

And Stuart Turley is requesting my opinion on a series of seriously impressive podcasts with George McMillan, whose insights, viewpoints and clear thinking are most impressive to me.

Hey Stuart, you have a thumbs up from me to set up a podcast (which you suggested) with you, George, David Blackmon and lil ole me. Still sounds like a fun conversation.

And way more than 100 private messages here in the last few days.

Oh, and earlier this month a policy analyst at the U.S. Senate asked my opinion on U.S. energy policies, and I gave it to him both barrels; no worries, he said my views were very useful.

Maybe the U.S. Senate is actually waking up to the total insanity that is the Green New Socialist Deal that was relabelled as the Orwellian Inflation Reduction Act, but I’m not holding my breath.

Mostly I’m just an unconventional old fart who is growing a long grey goatee who laughs at stupidity and needles the totalitarian censors.

Life is good : )

    it's meant to induce a bit of cognitive dissonance.

    Maybe the Braille is meant for blind cleaners who are hired to clean the pilot's lounge.

    But erm, how thoroughly could a blind cleaner actually clean the pilot lounge.

    Not insurmountable, but dang, sure would be taking the long way home.

    that's some accurate photo realism right there, thanks.
