Greetings to my visiting friends. I use this space to comment on important subjects of the day, on the continuing evolution of my writing, my video and my photography work, to acknowledge good ideas and some good people I've crossed paths with along life's journey, and on stuff that's just plain curious or fun.

Our Home in 4K Video
Here we have a marvelous, high definition video of the Earth from space over four cycles of day and night. It was taken in May, 2011 by the geosynchronous Electro-L weather satellite.
I find myself in awe. The real Earth, the place we live, just seems so beautiful, so full of color, so alive. It looks vibrant and alive. It doesn't look fragile, not at all... but what you can't see from 23,000 miles in space are the planet's 7.26 billion human residents. What you can't see are the relentless demands we humans put on the Earth's finite fresh water, forest, and living ocean resources. What you can't see is just how badly we humans have shredded the planet's living fabric.
When I look at this video, I want to nurture and protect this place. I want to stop people from abusing it.
This Earth is the only home we have...

ReplyDeleteDissemble Furniture
Some pieces of furniture can be taken apart. You would be wise to do that when you have to move bigger pieces. Things like bed frames are best taken apart and then loaded in the removal van or you will have a really hard time moving them. Sofas are a tricky cookie, so it would be best to keep them whole unless they are of the simple design that can be dissembled easily.
