Old Mining Camp
These types of places are becoming very rare - a 100+ yo mining camp that hasn't been lost. Of course, it's well off a beaten path and a long way along rough roads. Still, not much left.

About the blog, the poetry book, and the essay book
by VANDERLEUN on APRIL 6, 2025
Tomorrow or the next day this blog will go dark. It’s what Gerard wanted, although it’s not an easy thing to do. This blog meant so much to him and to so many people for so long.
The book of Gerard’s poetry that I’ve edited should be published in a month or two. When it’s available, I’ll send an announcement to the new blog, and some of you might also get emails about it if you’re on an emailing list I’ve generated.
I’ve been thinking that there may be enough material for me to publish a second book of Gerard’s essays.
There’s about a 50% chance of that and if I do it I’ll keep you posted.
“In Case A 1987-Style Crash Happens Next”
The market crashed hard Thursday and Friday - it's all the talk of the town.

Or shuts down entirely.

Here’s Looking At You …

If I told you
I'm just a little
bit drunk
as I'm writing this
will you think
less of me?
It's been a long time...
for a lot of things.
Including drinking too much.
I miss the other things
more.

"New UK Internet Policing Law Targets US Online Forums"
Online forums based in the United States that rely on First Amendment protections are getting caught up in internet regulations in the UK, where they now risk being blocked under recent legislation.
Under the OSA (Online Safety Act), sites that allow user interaction, including forums, must have completed an illegal harm risk assessment by March 16 and submitted it to Ofcom by March 31.
All together now ...
Dear British Government:
This site has had visitors from the UK ...
There's more to the story of course.

"DNC Chair Announces Democrats Are Launching a Shadow Government Called the ‘People’s Cabinet’ to Sabotage Trump’s Agenda"
As I recall, the Democrats did something similar a few generations ago ...
I also recall it didn't end well for them that time.
Might be different this time.
