what you get here

This is not a blog which opines on current events. It rather uses incidents, books (old and new), links and papers to muse about our social endeavours.
So old posts are as good as new! And lots of useful links!

The Bucegi mountains - the range I see from the front balcony of my mountain house - are almost 120 kms from Bucharest and cannot normally be seen from the capital but some extraordinary weather conditions allowed this pic to be taken from the top of the Intercontinental Hotel in late Feb 2020

Recent books downloaded

Still a sense of ennui – although I should be pleased that, for the second time in the blog’s history, monthly clicks in March surpassed the 100,000 mark! (The previous month it was 33,000)

I’ve been doing a lot of viewing recently – mainly on the dangerous war on Iran 
in which Israel has embroiled the USA
