Sweden: III

Last long walk in Kalmar

Kalmar by foot

Hawking

Stephen Hawking recently said:

"I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark."

I'm grateful for him. He calls it like he see it, and I see it the same way. There is nothing wrong with a reality based existence and atheists shouldn't have to feel the need to keep that to themselves for fear of offending someone who believes in space ghosts.

Orchids and Sedums and Trebuchets, OH MY!

Kalmar (AKA home this week)

Site first occupied around 100 AD

Traction Trebuchet

Miniature Plants of the Alvar Plain

A dry place with fossiliferous limestone, a very short growing season

shallow soil

and tiny Orchids

and other tiny flowers, too. Found a geranium 2mm across in full bloom.
