I should have known Austin would be first 😁. Sobering but important news about the event to dwarf global warming. Thanks as ever John and congrats on doing what you can for all of us, as usual. 🕊️🌱🌅
For you and Jenny the OED word of the day: 😇. Your word for Thursday 17th November is: locavore, n.
locavore, n.
[‘A person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food; frequently attributive.’]
Pronunciation: Brit. /ˈləʊkəvɔː/, U.S. /ˈloʊkəˌvɔr/
Forms: also with capital initial.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: local adj., -ivore comb. form.
Etymology: < loca- (in local adj.) + -vore (in -ivore comb. form).
Coined by Jessica Prentice in 2005 as the name for an informal group of which she was a founding member, committed to supporting local and sustainable food systems in the San Francisco area (see quot. 20051). She and the other members of the group set themselves the challenge of eating only foods grown or harvested within a 100 mile radius of San Francisco for an entire month. The name was apparently coined specifically for the newspaper article from which quot. 20051 is taken.
A person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food; frequently attributive.
2005 San Francisco Chron. 1 June f1/4 Calling themselves the Locavores, the women..are passionate about eating locally and have devised a way to show others how to do that, too.
2005 News-Courier (Athens, Alabama) 11 Aug. 9a/5 Food in the coming years will cost more... And that's one of the driving factors behind the Locavore movement.
2007 B. Kingsolver Animal, Veg., Miracle(2008) xvii. 286 We needed fellow locavores to add clout to our quest.
2014 Sydney Morning Herald(Nexis) 26 Apr. (Travel section) 12 Moss is a dedicated locavore and a chef who likes to get his hands dirty.
When a freeze comes, I may have to cut the stalks off at the bases and take them into the shop, and leave them there with lights on and windows closed. Not sure what else I will be able to do.
Great writing as always. I enjoyed the vast overview and perspective. In the case of the Doug Casey interview, I was appalled by Casey’s regurgitation of transhumanist ideology about six times, his hyper-material atheism, and his blindness to the Faustian Civilization he inhabits.
Mr. Day, Do you listen or follow John David Ebert from Youtube? Ebert has his blond spots, but he is an excellent professor on Spengler, Joseph Campbell, Jung, Rudolph Steiner, and Goethe.

That "locavore" meme caught on in Austin around that same 2005 period,
It used to be called "eating food" before WW-2.
:-)
People forget that the Bank for International Settlement was founded by Hilmar Schecht & Adolf Hitler.
And the BOE sent Germany all the Czech Gold from London to Berlin...
Today we face a different war... the Government against its own people.
But just like before the culprits can be Identified by the wealth they steal from the fallen.
Those who fall to their lies...
Those who fall to their Poison...
Those who fall to their guns.
Creation is the biggest gift we all have.
All we need is Freedom.
Growing a country takes a lot of hard work and independent thinking, tearing it down is easy.
We'll have to see how this goes.
Tearing the country down For-Profit is the specific objective, so we have a better idea of what enemy-action will have to look like.
You should protect that flower and plant from the freezes.

I don't watch videos, due to lack of time. I read a lot, and it lets me skim, pick, choose.
I have much enjoyed studying the works of Carl Jung, which has been a long time ago, now, but I feel like I incorporated his work into my worldview.
For daily meditation, I recommend "A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living."
