All in all it's been a good year since April 20, 2010. Ha! Here's a new book about the particular nightmare that began a year ago today: Carl Safina's Sea in Flames: The Deepwater Horizon Oil Blowout (2011).
And another good new book: Antonia Juhasz' Black Tide: The Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill (2011).
So much has "transgressed" during the past 365-day solar cycle that I'm guessing many have already buried their memories of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption. Maybe thinking about the latest big tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear disaster. And birds fell from the sky. An iced over Super Bowl. Frenzied tornadic outbreaks. Floods. Mass-scale drought and fire. Gas-fracking. Upheaval. Convulsion. What's next on the docket?
I'll bet we'd never guess in a thousand years the where and when of it all . . .
Check back often, particularly one year from today for another glance back, braving the lot of Lot's wife. -- God willing and the creek don't rise.
Today's Rune: Warrior.
