Hi Ma (Janie), and All, 



*

M,

How are you doing in these contemporary "coronavirus" meme (or 'ideas') spheres? Am glad you're safe at home. After sending my longish email to you, Dick, Lucy, Ann and Alden this morning - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/golden-barrel-cactus-world-stands-still.html (see 2nd part) - am seeking to send out the nearly complete minutes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/03/snowshoe-hare-minutes-for-march-21.html - for big project, and then may head out for groceries.

I wonder what climate scientists would say about comparative cooling of the earth in the month of March 2020 - and going back regarding different historical data sets? Was there a kind of 'eco-radical' action, reversing global warming, in Wuhan, China, gene-wise - that could be contributing to far less airplane travel and people staying home, thus burning far less fossil fuel driving cars, and which was thought out beforehand in these regards? Per you observation to keep a journal, my blog posts in these regards are growing - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/genes - with some thoughts about all of this :) (I have the sense that China is open for business even after this genetic novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS CoV2) epidemic triggering event - https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-west-is-misinterpreting-wuhans-coronavirus-progressand-drawing-the-wrong-lessons-11585074966 (did Henry C help create this?) - and the US is seeking to be open for business too, but 'how' is changing, and just changed (what does the data say?); And the way the US gets business information in China via journalists, and for investments (and vice versa), is also changing - as is probably how students study not only in China and the US reciprocally, but also in India, Europe, Africa, south America, etc.). And how have climate simulations change in recent months, I wonder - and also regarding the idea of creating a single realistic virtual earth (see below)?

A number of interesting Tweets by what could be from ZB today ... eg

It's a great time to let someone know you're thinking of them❤️

And as I look at and think about the beautiful pictures on my Google Smart TV that pass by, both of nature and intense large cities (all very interesting patterns), I see a number of the aurora borealis, and one looks like a tiny community in Alaska (I think) on a body of water (probably ocean) at dusk with the community alit and borealis above a mountain range behind; this gives me a new perspective on community ... These Google Smart TV photos offer perspective on life too in interesting other ways, and make me appreciate where I live in Canyon for its beauty. If ZB and I were to connect further, and she were somehow to explore moving out here, my landlord's taking care of the place could have much merit - offering freedom. Perhaps the Alaskan community, and Canyon's too, are kinds of native communities with all their historical knottedness which Angela Farmer touches on here -

https://youtu.be/qQWieQ2s2eM (aka 'Underground Yoga' here - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html) but am keeping both the Desiderata in mind with regard to my big project, as well as a kind of good ethics, and possibly philosophically as well. Great ethics even ... Some of the other images are underwater, and of turtles and seals swimming too ... am wondering when all of these great images will emerge in an interactive single realistic virtual earth and for science, as well as exploration, and creation. :)

With the creation of a realistic virtual Harbin, it could be great to turn the pool Sioux and Tim and I found - HERE IT IS ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/camellia-japonica-photos-of-seemingly.html - about 1/2 mile from here into a WARM pool, and bring a digital mask up there - as if to visit Harbin - and still get a nice little walk up there (but I have no idea how it would be managed socially, or even whether nascent robots could eventually make it nice:).

See, too, from 2009 ... :))

What are you up to today? And how are you weathering the media? Hoping you're doing well, and creating great new possibilities creatively and exploration-wise too in your new home! (As I read further in Castells'"Communication Power" currently much about the US elections in 2004 and 2008 regarding media, am appreciative of the perspective they offer on the current race).

Love, Scott

Hi Bruce, UUCPA and All,

It may involve some innovative musical direction - especially music-wise.

Cheers, Scott
(Re free 250 place choir hall in Google Meet - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Virtual_Choir ? WUaS's Google Meet doesn't yet livestream to Youtube, FYI - but I'd think the Google Roadmap to real, real time music-making would be one of the best).
