Been on this planet for a bit now; still trying to figure it out.

What keeps me informed, amused, or up at night: climate and the environment, news and journalism, human evolution and ancient history, politics, wildlife, photography, cycling, piano, guitar, español, français. 
Oh, and a sucker for bad puns.

Overthrow our demand for them, and we overthrow much of the current tyranny. Greener, cleaner, cheaper, kinder, fairer: what a beautiful world we could have.”

Yes. A master at using the patois of the average Joe.
So much so that you’d never hear him using the word ‘patois’. 😊
