Back in the days of Roman numerals, basic multiplication was considered this incredibly technical concept that only official mathematicians could handle. But once Arabic numerals came around, you could actually do arithmetic on paper, and we found that 7 year olds can understand multiplication. It's not that multiplication itself was difficult. It was just that the representation of numbers--the interface--was wrong.

[C]haracter--the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life--is the source from which self-respect springs. [S]elf-respect is a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed, trained, coaxed forth.
-- Joan Didion (Slouching Towards Bethlehem)
Happiness is the incidental by-product of pursuing some other worthy goal.
-- John Stuart Mill
Don't regret anything in life. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience! When you win, you win. When you lose, you learn.

-- Confucius

Our obsessions with history and prophecy perhaps reflect an inability to comprehend the implications of geological time....Past and future require certain limitations and symmetries to be meaningful -- there must be a plot or at least a story. But time is really not much like a story. It is more like an ocean current that rises from imperfectly perceived depths and flows into unseen distances.
-- David Rains Wallace (Idle Weeds)
Any claim of revelation is outrageous. It presumes that God exists, that God speaks and all is not lost when human beings translate that speech into ordinary language.
-- Stephen Prothero (WSJ Book Review (Oct 2, 2009))
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.

Saw a number of different birds at Great Sand Dunes Nat. Monument, but the wild turkeys back at the parking lot at the end of a 7 1/2 mile hike took me by surprise.

In the spring the Medano river is a joy to wade in all along the great dune field. We walked barefoot in the dry, sandy river bed north, where we found water coming from the mountain before disappearing into the sand.
