For my mental health, I focus on looking closely at your shared articles that offer good news. <br /><br />Our naturalist book club will be reading and discussing One More Warbler for the last two months of the year. It will be refreshing to read this book about birds after finishing The Worst Hard Time about the Dust Bowl and Farewell to Ice about the melting Arctic.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-40125666169350309072020-10-05T15:06:51.310-05:002020-10-05T15:06:51.310-05:00I've heard a bit about that book and I agree -...I've heard a bit about that book and I agree - it does sound interesting.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-13107683970937132632020-10-05T14:07:34.563-05:002020-10-05T14:07:34.563-05:00I don't have time today but I will be back to ...I don't have time today but I will be back to read about the plastic eating bugs! Good news from Montana. I surely have more faith in individuals than I do in corporations. Last week I received from my Nervous Breakdown Book Club subscription a most interesting sounding book, Can't Even by Anne Helen Petersen about "the psychic toll modern capitalism has taken on those shaped by it." So curious to read it.Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-40727965340110077122020-10-04T10:35:54.746-05:002020-10-04T10:35:54.746-05:00We would be wise to acknowledge that climate chang...We would be wise to acknowledge that climate change is making our natural world a more dangerous place and to do what we can at this late date to ameliorate the damage and prepare for what it may bring.

One would think that Homo sapiens, with our super brain, would be able to recognize these problems and understand the urgent need to tackle them, but it appears not to be so. I recently read a blog about someone already preparing for NEXT year's wildfires in California. Is this where we are? It is dismal to concede that the answer is "yes".David M.
