Your thoughts on time, the windows you provide to viewing its expanse and to different ways of measuring it, mesh with mine on the expansion of micro-moments, the dropping way of measurement in favour of just "being in the present" at Nola's birth. I'd love to have you nearby right now for a walk and perhaps tea by the fireplace (must seem an incongruous thought given the weather you're in). hugs, big hugs!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111655805504027258.post-74547713614195092762008-11-29T08:38:00.000-08:002008-11-29T08:38:00.000-08:00sandykyou and p. would love Galapagos!Carolyes sad...sandyk<BR/>you and p. would love Galapagos!<BR/><BR/>Carol<BR/>yes sad and odd.<BR/><BR/>fish eggs- the scary part is that most of the half of US citizens who didn't vote probably fall into that earth is 10,000 year old group.<BR/><BR/>Sally<BR/> glad you found the blog. you must be having a lot of fun with your treasure trove of pictures!Alison Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09768315542282472901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111655805504027258.post-30439014343365522552008-11-29T05:19:00.000-08:002008-11-29T05:19:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.sashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715581284716030229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111655805504027258.post-20829125228565690602008-11-28T07:26:00.000-08:002008-11-28T07:26:00.000-08:00Alison,do not despair!

Not as bad as the Nanaimo civic turnout (32%) but still an interestingly low turnout for a country that is forcing "democracy" around the world, Iraq, Afghanistan and the other stans. To name a few. The numbers for the US are here:<BR/><BR/>http://edition.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/<BR/><BR/>sail away and head south!FISH EGGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246637647318122975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111655805504027258.post-86149827239362824882008-11-27T22:39:00.000-08:002008-11-27T22:39:00.000-08:00Hi Alison -- What a great description of your jour...Hi Alison -- What a great description of your journey and what interesting comments on evolution. At first when I read your comment that 50% of Americans believe that the world was created by God, in something like its present form, within the past 10,000 years, I thought you said "This strikes me as sad." In fact you said "odd," which is certainly true, but it's also sad, isn't it? The evolution you describe and Darwin's observations are so much more amazing than the other story.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it sounds like a great trip. Much more exciting than our usual triangle of Nanaimo/Victoria/Vancouver, from which we have just returned to P.I. But we did see the Met Faust in Victoria and heard Tafelmusik in Vancouver, so can't complain. Miss you, though.<BR/>Love to you both,<BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111655805504027258.post-61314708018298461432008-11-27T22:24:00.000-08:002008-11-27T22:24:00.000-08:00Hi Alison;Following your journey.
