Karen and I live in a home on a five acre parcel of land south of Red Bluff, California. We both are employed at education jobs in our area. We have a number of large yard and garden projects that have kept us busy over the many years since 1998.
We kind of flow with the seasons. Our springtime weather is perfect for new yard, home and garden projects.
Today, for example, I want to move storage containers from the garage to outdoor storage sheds.
We recently enjoyed visiting our children and their families and vacationing for one week in Portland, Oregon.
I've been reading biographies: Arthur Schopenhauer, Frederick Nietzsche, John Dewey, Immanuel Kant, Sigmund Freud, Ludwig Wittgenstein.
I've been reading a lot of the writings of John Dewey (1859-1952).
My science interests are varied. Just read Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Cosmos." Fascinating stuff about the physics of the infinitesimally and incredibly tiny, at and below the level of organisms, organs, drops, microscopic, cells, molecules, DNA instructions, atoms, qwarks, forces, and the space-time aberrations of Quantum Land and String Land. Learning about the five senses of human beings and other animals is interesting to me.
"Galileo Galilei's used a compound microscope in 1625, and he called it the "occhiolino" or "little eye." The first detailed account of the interior construction of living tissue based on the use of a microscope did not appear until 1644, in Giambattista Odierna's L'occhio della mosca, or The Fly's Eye. Electron microscopy emerged in the 1940's."
