I have a confession to make. Yesterday I posted that nothing happened on day one of the Grand Finale Tour. That is not quite true.

In Wapheton North Dakota I ordered a Sundae at MacDonalds but could not get it because the server said the ice cream maker was in heat mode. How is that possible? How can an ice cream maker be in heat mode?  That is like the Catholic Church saying it won’t be offering a mass today because they want to leave the day open for the devil.

If this is not a serious sign that western civilization is in decline what is?

Mahatma Gandhi was once asked what he thought about western civilization and he answered, “I think it would be a good idea.”

I have been listening to a CBC series of podcasts they have called: “The New World Disorder?” Is that where we are at? It was very interesting and I hope to post about it later. It fits into my two themes—the decline of western civilization and collapse of nature. Well it sort of fits in.
