It feels cool in Iowa City this morning, so I'm wearing an extra layer
of clothes. On my bike ride to work this morning, I began listening to
Chapter 12 of Sophie's World. A few minutes into my ride, I heard
these words, "It could be of value to drive a car and get quickly from
one place to another, but if driving led to deforestation and
polluting the natural environment you are facing a choice of values.
After careful consideration, Sophie felt that she had come to the
conclusion that healthy forests and a pure environment were more
valuable than getting to work quickly."

Hearing this reminded me of the statistic that there are 750 cars for
every 1000 people in America, yet in China the ratio is only 44 cars
per 1000 people. This week I created a web page about oil dependency
and the T. Boone Pickens Plan for solar, wind, and natural gas:

I'm just starting chapter 6 of Sophie's World. Chapter 5 presents the
question, "Why do people stop playing with toys when they grow up?"
Much of the book so far is about seeing the Universe and all
experiences with the wonder, imagination, and fascination of a child.
Philosophers are adults who maintain an inquisitive child-like sense
of wonder.

It's really been a whirlwind of a day. This evening, I worked a little bit on the property liquidation project that began over a month ago. There's still much more to do on that. I spent about two hours with a computer client, and then returned to my office by about 9PM.

We're in the final days of the month and I still have a book I need to finish formatting for a colleague that needs to be sent to the printer within the next few days. I'm needing to write up my personal update, the Resources for Life Newsletter, and the Small House Society newsletter. So, it's going to be a busy next few days. This evening, I posted the Heart Songs selections for August (something I do prior to sending out the monthly newsletters). So, I'm happy to have that done. I'm heading home now and will start on things again tomorrow.
