It’s the last day of May. Sunday is my day off. Three books I return to for extended reading on that day of rest are Berry’s The Unsettling of America, Abbey’s A Fool’s Progress, and a collection of essays by H.L. Mencken.
These three writers are all, in different ways, disgusted with what modern America has become — but they each bring something different to the table. Abbey takes you out into the wilderness and says this is what we’re destroying, and sometimes you have to fight dirty to protect it. Berry plants his feet on a Kentucky farm and says the problem is that we’ve forgotten how to live in a place and care for it. Mencken sits back with a drink and says the deeper problem is that most Americans are too credulous and self-satisfied to even notice. You need all three — the romantic, the farmer, and the cynic — because each one catches what the others miss.

2026 #introduction. Some things have changed since 2022. Some things haven’t. I drive Uber in Monterey, which gives me time to think — maybe too much time. I practice zazen twice a week at Monterey Bay Zen Center, walk mornings with my wife, and read The New Yorker thoroughly but I’m always about a couple months behind everyone else, which seems to suit me.
I have a temperamental aversion to the newest thing, so naturally I keep coming back to Mastodon.
Still trying to figure things out. Still big picture. Less impostor syndrome, maybe — or just more comfortable not fitting in cleanly anywhere.

Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. #Abbey #EdAbbey #EdwardAbbey

The cabin where we're staying has Edward Abbey's old La Sal cabin next door. I think he's a little chilly in his unheated cabin this morning ...
(we went in -- the Abbey cabin serves as an extra bedroom for this place. It's quite small.) -

On this day I am reminded of another of my favorite Edward Abbey lines:
"Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear."
