I'm bored. Why won't they let me lick myself? I guess I'll just read ITGK6!

Vyzygoth's Inside The Grassy Knoll 6 is now available. In it you will find my essay "Some Thoughts On My Pending Retirement". Go to the issue and enjoy all the contributions by such luminaries as Andy Colvin, Brian Tuohy, William Ramsey, Vyzygoth and Andy Senior. Angie Riedel does the usual great job on graphics. You will not be sorry. And the price is right.

The Summer 2010 edition of Vyzygoth's Inside the Grassy Knoll is now available. As usual, Angie Riedel has done a magnificent job with the graphics and preparation.
I was pleased to be able to contribute an essay on the origins of petroleum, "Where the Hell does All That Oil Come From Anyways?" from my poor unprofessional perspective. I hope it stimulates some thought.

The "Oil Is Mastery" blog follows the abiotic oil argument closely. The following link from that blog is a video of  L. Fletcher Prouty on "Fossil Fuels"  in which Mr. Prouty makes the point that Rockefeller interests had strong ulterior motives in declaring petroleum as a rare resource derived from dead organisms.

Who am I? How Did I Get Here? Where Am I Going,
Or, The Why Ask Those Existential Questions Two Step

Click the above title for the hyperlink to my story in the Summer/Fall 2009 "Inside the Grassy Knoll" ezine. It gives a little of my biographical information and an existential outlook on the world in two pages. It finishes up with two personal ghost stories: one that was there and one that wasn't.

Positive existentialism:

"If success or failure of this planet and of human beings depended on how I am and what I do... ... HOW WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I DO?"- R. Buckminster Fuller


Negative existentialism:

"Hell is other people."- Jean Paul Sartre

You need both in the broth.
