Sunday Mining Pure Evil Opera

Pure evil exists. We do not like to admit it, for it scares us to acknowledge the existence of pure evil. If you doubt me on the existence of pure evil, read the history, watch the movies, or see the operas that tell of Agamemnon, Elektra, Salome, Nero, Lucretia Borgia, the Inquisition, Nazis, Stalin, Pot Pol, [...]

Day one: 1/1/11 if you count by day, month, year. Or 11/1/1 of you go by year, day/month, month/day. Etc. A rainy and cold day in this part of California. And a supper party with old friends who live just across the road. She is the best cook in all the world. We ate home-made [...]
Huntington Beach Christmas

Enough of Christmas trees; they are everywhere. Instead, I took a bicycle ride down the beach to see where it all begins and ends.
Sunday Sermon: The Bible on Mining
Posted in Church, Mining history, Uncategorized, tagged bible, Gold, job, mining, sapphire on November 14, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Some three years ago, I wrote a piece on what the Bible has to say about mining. I had all but forgotten the posting, when today somebody posted as a comment the specific piece from Job 28:1-12 to which I referred. I read it again, and its beauty moved me. So I repeat it below and [...]

Oil sands mining in Utah should make Obama happy: it will reduce US dependence on foreign oil–like the stuff that comes from Canada’s Alberta oil sands mines. If the folk of this report succeed, soon we will see oil sands mining in Utah. Here are the interesting bits:
Sunday Religion & Opera: Il Sant’Alessio

If you want opera and religion in one, watch the DVD of the 1631 opera, Il Sant’Alessio. First staged in the palace of the Pope Urban VIII, the score was written by Giulio Rospigliosi, who became Pope Clement IX in 1667.

His funeral was yesterday in South Africa. My ex-wife’s brother died at the age of about 68 last week and they buried him yesterday. I was not there, but my ex went to show off a new dress and her new husband–the one with the pony tail.

Here is part of an e-mail I received this week. It is ad for a job with MiningWatch Canada to keep an eye on mining in Guatemala. The salary is $58,000 a year with four weeks leave. If I were able to speak Spanish, I would apply. Seems like a pure sinecure. Afterall there is only one [...]
