Another brief break in the isolation drills. The labor is slow and monotonous, but progress beats couch-lock. I've been listening to Guy McPherson lectures on YouTube as I work. With a climate denier as the new head of the EPA my anxieties seem minuscule in the context of Near-Term Extinction, so I embrace the greater evil. Let me know if that makes any sense. I'd be crushing Valium tablets and cutting the powder into lines if I wasn't afraid that it would slow me down.
