Spring Bee Hiving Moon
Two weeks ago Kate and I went to see Hunger Games. This afternoon I went to see Cabin in the Woods. Not Kate’s kinda movie. This is the most movies out I’ve seen in a couple of years.
Let me just say this. If you’re a Lovecraft fan, and I am, you’ll love this movie. Nuff said.

Peaked under the feeding pail just now. Bees clustered under it. Where they should be. Closed it back up. I’ll check again on Friday to see if they’re queen right.

Which reminds me, when health policy reformer Cong. Claude Pepper (D-FL) died, he went to heaven and asked God whether health reform would ever be successful in the U.S. To which God replied with good news and bad news. “The good news is, yes it will. The bad news is, not in my lifetime.” (from Dave Durenberger’s Commentary.)

from Nakedbrowneye:
“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless—of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That you are here – that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”

Late Breaking news: as of 9 pm tonight
At noon, local time (10 p.m. ET),James Cameron ‘s “vertical torpedo” sub broke the surface of the western Pacific, carrying the National Geographic explorer and filmmaker back from theMariana Trench ‘s Challenger Deep—Earth’s deepest, and perhaps most alien, realm.
The first human to reach the 6.8-mile-deep (11-kilometer-deep) undersea valley solo, Cameron arrived at the bottom with the tech to collect scientific data, specimens, and visions unthinkable in 1960, when the only other manned Challenger Deep dive took place, according to members of the National Geographic expedition.

An uptick continues. Melancholia seems quiet now. I’m glad.
