Bravo, Mike. Spot on.
When I read "Moby Dick," what I took away from it was that there's a difference between WALKING away and RUNNING away. Ahab should have walked away from that whale. He had a wife, a daughter and a nice home in Nantucket. Who cared about some stupid cetacean?
You hit on exactly what I felt--that we're expected to "stick with it" too often.
Thanks

Do You Ever Feel This Way?
Do you ever feel like you have to go take pictures of something? This morning we had a late winter snowstorm that came down in big, sticky flakes and stuck to everything. Stop signs were white, not red; trees, cars, shopping carts at the grocery store, even power and telephone wires were coated ...
Thanks for taking this subject up, Ctein. While I heartily believe that there are many kinds of intelligence and that all have value, astrophysics always seemed to be the most intelligent kind of intelligence. Mostly because I can't get my head around it.

The Unseen Universe Gets Much Weirder (Very OT!)
By Ctein Last week I talked about dark matter. People may want to reread that column (and, importantly, my additional remarks in the comments) to refresh their memories, but here's the short summary: There are numerous experimental observations and theoretical calculations that tell us that the ...
My favorite crop job is this:

The front of this hotel faces 101 in San Mateo CA. The photographer must have used a 2 MM lens because there's maybe 2 feet between the highway fence and the access road in front of the property.

Ranchos de Taos
By John Camp Several months back, a friend of mine volunteered to help "re-mud" one of the most famous pieces of architecture in America, the St. Francis Catholic Church of Ranchos de Taos, just outside of Taos, New Mexico. At the time, I was somewhat taken aback by its surroundings, since in pa...

Bah. Fagles. Better poet than translator. Stick with Lattimore's translations. As close as reading the actual Greek as you can get.

Life is Too Short for Alexander Pope
It just occurred to me at the bookstore yesterday that life is too short for Alexander Pope. I stumbled across his translation of the Odyssey, and I realized that, even though I do mean to read the Odyssey one day (I never have), Pope's isn't one of the translations I'd consider reading. It's n...
