The Laws of Motion: Why Vote? (A Philosophical Approach)
http://hopeindisenchantment.blogspot.com/2012/11/why-vote-philosophical-approach.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. Voting is a ceremony. It is an expression of reverence- not for our government or our laws, not for anything man-made, but for the very idea that ordinary people are more important than the juggernauts that seem to rule them. If we do not understand why we should vote in this country, that is because we have fogotten the meaning of ceremony. And the meaning of ceremony is reverence." - Paul Woodruff. Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. Good Grease: SV...

Monday, August 1, 2011. When is it time to let go of an old friend? When does the car become more trouble than it’s worth? How many parts can you replace before the machine becomes mutant? It’s a funny feeling to watch your car be towed away. It suddenly becomes other; it appears as it is, as an object. All sentimentality gets thrown out the window. Or does it? 8220;No more biodiesel! 8221; my mechanic, Mike, said. I smiled coyly. I wouldn’t give up biodiesel or my car for the world. 8221; Mike asked.

Wednesday, June 1, 2011. Little Red Vs Big Mouse Part One: Pele's Message. In feline-human communication, there are often misunderstandings. Recently, Pele had begun taking great interest in my car, Little Red. I would look out the window and there she was.sitting on the hood. I'd go outside and she would be sniffing around the tires or trying to get inside. Pele, you want to go for a ride? There's a mouse in your car. You're so sweet. You want to go on a road trip! Don't worry.I'll be home later. Citize...

The Laws of Motion: A Classic Monterey Moment
http://hopeindisenchantment.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-classic-monterey-moment.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. A Classic Monterey Moment. I was walking to work today when I encountered a confused-looking gentleman on the corner of Alvarado and Del Monte. I must have had the look of someone who knows where she's going. Can you tell me where the downtown is? This is it," I said, the ocean my backdrop. He looked even more confused as I walked away. I guess what you're looking for is sometimes right in front of you. Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. The 350 Proj...

The Laws of Motion: EcoMyths and False Salvation #1: Recycling
http://hopeindisenchantment.blogspot.com/2011/08/ecomyths-and-false-salvation-1.html
Thursday, August 4, 2011. EcoMyths and False Salvation #1: Recycling. The LitterBug Campaign was successful in enraging a generation of Toys R' Us Kids. Top Ten EcoMyths Introduction. As a child, my cousins and I were inundated with commercials about litterbugs. We’d see someone toss a cigarette butt out a car window, and that was it.

http://hopeindisenchantment.blogspot.com/2011/07/little-red-vs-big-mouse-part-two-i.html
Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Little Red Vs Big Mouse Part Two: I Smell a Rat. If ever there was a gruesome discovery, it was what I found under my hood that fateful day. My cat’s sudden obsession with my car began to alert me that something was afoot (literally) beneath my radar. Not gifted with supersonic ears sensitive to subterranean animals, I had no idea that I would find a nest under my hood. In my understanding of mice, I had made a few critical errors:. 2) Mice are small. 3) Mice are not intelligent.

The Laws of Motion: A Bit of Inspiration from Cannery Row
http://hopeindisenchantment.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-bit-of-inspiration-from-cannery-row.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. A Bit of Inspiration from Cannery Row. I have not written in my blog for over a year. Why should I? What do I have to say? In fact, in myself, I see the flaw that I always caution against: the need for perfection. I'm in the process of writing my great novel. I have some material written. I'm just editing the narrative perspective, narrowing the focus, inventing some never-before-seen genre. And I'm OK with that. And so.without any excuses. Respect, and shame. What's that ...
