        Year's End Roundup -- 2022 edition
        
        Has turned out to be a rather light posting year for me.  While
        I'm still very much engaged in learning about our predicament I
        haven't felt as compelled to write about it as it kind of doesn't
        matter anymore and arguably many folks are probably better off
        staying ignorant. Also

        Narrative Fracture in the Post-Exuberance Age
        
        Happy 2022?  We'll have to wait and see.
        
        Finished up William Catton Jr's 'Overshoot' but decided to move on
        to his followup book, 'Bottleneck', written nearly 30 years later,

        P.L.A.N. for Collapse
        
        Still working my way through William Catton's 1982 book
        'Overshoot'[0].  Got distracted when I picked up "Peruvian
        Plunge"[1], Sam Mitchell's self-published travel memoir/gringo
        spirit quest from his time in Peru.  Sam Mitchell is better known
        as Hambone Littletail, the cantankerous

        Seems it has been a while since the last post.  Been taking a break
        from the doom, opting for more enjoyable distractions like taking
        advantage of an unusually warm Fall and an abundance of apples on
        our trees this year.  We must have 40+ pounds of apple sauce in
        the freezer now and there are still more apples to process..

        It's another smokey hot Summer on the front range.  Apparently most
        of the smoke is from the west coast; so far Colorado seems to be
        escaping a repeat of last year's epic wildfires.  We've even gotten
        a decent amount of rain, enough to keep the wildflowers going and
        the grasses green.
        
        Have finally gotten starting reading William Catton's seminal 1980s
        book

        Happy Spring!  It really felt like a long Winter and the bright
        green of the emerging foliage is a welcome sight.
        
        Books:  I'm currently reading 'Bright Green Lies', just out last
        month.  Derrick Jensen is the primary author but with contributions

        film reviews:  'Hot Money' and 'Kiss the Ground'
        
        That's right -- it's a two-fer!   Both are recent documentary films
        and although they occasionally cross topical paths they are
        somewhat partisan affairs and framed for their target audiences.
        Both are worth watching.
