$19,000.000. Who would have guessed?

I just thought I should explain to you 
why I may be quitting my day job, 
and moving to somewhere warm.


By the most inexplicable of coincidences, 
a gentleman in Sumatra, Indonesia, who has 
the very same name as I, has died and left behind
$19 million dollars.  


Oh, wow!  Wow!  What do you suppose the odds are
that there has been another Conrad Røyksund, in Sumatra,
and that he died of a heart attack because all the members
of his family died together in a tsunami disaster 
on the itch December 2004?


My own guess is about 19,000,000 to 1.  


I do not have the details yet from Esq Thong Kim Wong,
or is that Esq Echoing Kim Wong, or is that Bar Chong 
Kim Wong Chambers, but I will guess that all I have to do
is to send him, or them, a bank deposit number so that they
can stuff all that money into my personal account, if I will 
just send what little I do have to show good faith
and to cover some relatively minor expenses, given the
magnitude of grief caused by the whole family having died,
leaving me the only possible heir in the whole world,
given the indubitable fact that I have a very rare name.


This is, of course, hard to believe, but I am appending, here,
the whole email message that is making my retirement 
possible.  I am in a generous mood, as you can well understand,
so if you could empty your own bank accounts and send 
it all to me, I will share much of my own good fortune with you. 


As soon as I can.  Probably.  After I move south.

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

Nice to Run Into You Again

We do not see things in enormous time-frames.  We human beings are fairly new at figuring things out for ourselves.  For instance, some  people today still think of the earth as a newly created thing, perhaps ten thousand years old.  Earth is actually about four-and-a-half billion years old.   That is to say, the earth is 450,000 times older than the Adam and Eve story, and the universe is three times older than that! I recall first hearing that continents were slowly drifting around the earth, and that there quite likely had been several times when the continents were squeezed together.  But people could stand on the edge of their own continents, and not see Africa or Asia getting closer.  It took at least fifty years to figure things out. We called our continent something special. But sure enough, there have been numerous times during several-billion year history of the earth, when supercontinents formed, and eventually drifted off. ...

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them. ...
