The World Through a Chipmunk’s Eyes
Ever wonder what the world around us looks like to a bird, a worm, an ant? I think about things like this all the time. Makes me appreciate the wonder of the things most of us take for granted. With …

Putting the universe into perspective
But before we blast off into the cosmic deep end, let me give you fair warning. This journey is going to mess with your head in ways you’re not prepared for. The numbers we’re dealing with are so large that mathematicians had to invent new ways to write them down. The concepts are so bizarre that they sound like science fiction, except they’re not. They’re the cold, hard reality of the universe we actually live in. So, if you’ve ever wondered just how insignificant you really are, or if you want to experience what it feels like to have your entire world view completely demolished and rebuilt, then stick around because what you’re about to learn will change how you see everything forever…

When I graduated beyond the walls of AM radio, I stumbled across FM and discovered a station with a staggering playlist. That station? WABX! They played an eclectic blend of rock, folk, blues, and progressive music. I was exposed to a plethora of sound waves. Lucky me. It’s a far cry to what they play today….
Maison – a beautiful song
I heard this for the first time while scrolling through Substack (the one and only social media platform I use). I immediately had to look it up and added it to my Mare’s Mellower Side playlist on Spotify. Words, melody, vocals, and accompaniment are simply, c’est magnifique!
