Weterlund 2 – Good band name… This might surprise you, but I know the Hubble Telescope is having its twenty-fifth anniversary this year. I am not a closet astronomy nerd, but I lived in The Bahamas where there is no light pollution, and like home inspectors and police detectives I tended to look up. […]
An M.C. Escher staircase within the lighthouse… I was chasing ghosts last night. That is not a metaphor.
