  1. Good morning. ⏰🫘☕

    17 August 2026

    I woke up this morning and found that one of my hearing aids hadn’t charged — a minor annoyance, but enough to throw off the rhythm. My hearing aids connect to my iPhone, and I usually listen to the news or some music when I’m out walking. And Monday is a walk day.

    No sweaty da. I’ll let it charge a bit before heading out. I need my eyes and ears along the way. “The way,” by the way, is just circuits around my yard — roughly 400 yards per lap.

    Whoa — I pulled “no sweaty da” out of an old dusty suitcase. I’m pretty sure it’s a hybrid English/Japanese slang phrase used by service members way back in the day, meaning “no problem.” I spent time in Japan both as a kid and later as a Marine, so I probably picked it up in the early ’60s without even realizing it stuck.

    Speaking of Japanese phrases, I don’t think I learned any dirty words in Japanese — and if I did, they’ve long since evaporated. After all, it’s been over half a century, and most of what I knew has faded. There was one mildly insulting phrase that got tossed around: baka tachi, which means “you fools” or maybe “you idiots.” It was playground language, the kind kids sling at each other without thinking.

    People say that when you’re in a foreign country you learn the bad words first. I don’t think that’s true. What you usually learn first is something practical — like “Where is the train station?” I mean, really, how are you supposed to learn the bad words first? Walk up to a stranger and ask? No, it doesn’t work like that.

  2. In #Guatemala, #Indigenous women build #ClimateResilience with old and new farming methods

    #AncestralKnowledge combined with #climatesmart techniques is boosting #FoodSecurity and increasing family incomes in the #LakeAtitlán region

    Adam Wentworth, July 2, 2026

    Excerpt: "The impacts of #ClimateChange on Indigenous communities can often lead to further #environmental damage as farmers are forced to rely on unsustainable practices, such as cutting down trees to clear more land. This can accelerate water scarcity, soil erosion and ultimately food insecurity.

    "An ongoing adaptation project led by Natün has sought to reverse these impacts, working with local people to combine modern climate-smart agriculture and ancestral knowledge. The approach involves the use of #DroughtResistant crops, organic pest management and #SoilConservation techniques. This is increasingly recognised as an effective way to strengthen climate resilience.

    " 'Our approach is based on soil analysis and the use of locally resilient, endemic tree species, significantly increasing survival rates and ensuring sustainable water availability despite changing rainfall patterns,' Wason explained."

    ... ... begin with?
    I guess one period in time that might be comparable to this scenario are the early #MiddleAges in Europe + the Mediterranean, after the breakdown of #Roman civilization, when the last educated craftsman was dead and the Germanic tribes remaining had to fend for themselves.
    (another might be the breakdown of the #Mayan civilization in #Mesoamerica.)
    I might be getting ahead of myself, but the clear signs are there for those who wish to see.

    MEXICO-MAYA ARTISTS. “Market Scene,” by Maya artist Gregoria Coche Mendoza from San Pedro de Laguna Maria Lucia Machado was ready for market.  Every Friday, the same routine.  Pack the vegetables, the fruit, the flowers into baskets, bowls, and boxes and load them into the back of the truck that only still ran because Maria Lucia Machado lit a candle at mass every morning, praying for its continued life. Into the back of the truck, she also loaded the box of used plastic bags for […]
