Am I too late to read the U.N. Climate Report??
I finally finished reading Moby Dick, so I have an opening in my schedule. (Don’t ask how long it took me, but you can look back in time HERE.) For what it’s worth, there was at least one gap year involved. During the final stretch (whilst I took my turn with Omicron), I was particularly struck by chapter 105, wherein Melville covers evolution and—in the 19th century—how we just might push the whales to extinction someday . . .
