“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” is a philosophical thought experiment that raises questions regarding observation and knowledge of reality. Observation, knowledge of reality, blah, blah, blah. See, if you arrive to your land in the mountains after dark, in very cold weather, go through the gate, [...]

Cabin Update

January 7, 2010

Our mountain cabin is coming along. I have not been there in a couple of months because, ummmm, it is COLD! Hopefully this time next year the windows will be in, siding on and smoke will be billowing from the wood stoves pipe. Big Buckaroo and I went for a night away date when my [...]
