We are back in Kentucky. It was sad to leave family in Washington but I am also glad to be back in our routine here. Alan's started classes at UK as well as his job there and Lucy and I have been busy settling the house.
Tonight we went to a "sing for your supper" party at the home of our friends. We didn't sing but they let us eat anyway. We heard songs about Ireland, Kentucky, and Amarillo; about soldiers, Jesus, and drunken rednecks; about farm animals, love, and little stars. Good food, lots of fun, and nice to catch up with the friends we've been missing.

If you haven't yet, please listen to "Please Read the Letter"-- it is a Robert Plant song that he recently rerecorded with Allison Krauss (I guess you could call her a bluegrass musician). To me it is a kind of austere rock song, measured and folksy and sweetly sad. But I'll let you ruminate on it for yourself.

Also, here is a little video that, as silly as it may seem, gives an interesting perspective on overpopulation. Its a subject that's come up frequently in conversation so I thought I'd share it.

Thanks for the video. We would all fit in "Texas" I agree. But man does not live by house and yard alone. Where did he get notion world population would peak by 20 something(don't recall the date) then decline? That I never heard. Also he has some misconception about food production and growth.The increase food triggers more people to be born.That's from the book Ishmael. Love your blog
