I wrote this for Dr Amir Khan.
I regularly use his photos and videos as inspiration for my daily blog. This is not meant as an advertisement it’s just what I chose to write about today after seeing his post on Twitter.

Neil, IMO they are doing it
1. Because they can
2. To try to out-do each other
3. To make money from rich space tourists.
There is nothing out there, at least not within touching distance. We're on our own.

Hi Stephen, I agree there is no planet B but the space race is definitely on. It might be a distraction from our very real problems here on Earth but would all these billionaires invest in something if they didn't think there was something in it? What do they know that we don't? maybe you're right and they're just the first rats off the sinking ship ?

Original item by Neil West
Thanks to Holden, Stephen and Leon for the likes.
I suppose the idea of this poem is that even rich billionaires can't escape the climate crisis which many of them have helped to create. The idea that money can buy you some extraterrestrial safe haven is just a mirage. There is no Planet B, or even space station B. They will have to deal with the problem down here, like the rest of us.

Quite so, MC. I had the idea of compiling one of those I-Spy books for kids for landmarks along every motorway. But I suppose a lot of them like Markham Colliery near Chesterfield would not exist now. And the replacement industrial warehouses look pretty much the same and, in any event, don’t have the same kind of romantic back-story.
The wagons are still there, Greg, although I suppose the “chicks” named on them will be in their 60’s now; it’s drivers there’s a shortage of.

A stimulating treatise to time and its place in our lives. We are
all servants of its inflexible input and our best interest is served
by learning from what has gone before and doing what we hope
is worthwhile in the future.

Good point, Holden, and the poem inspires a lot of thought. On balance, though, maybe the great uncertainty is the best part of life.

Thanks John
It's a bit different from Grindstone low because it's in the first person and from a child's perspective.
I don't think that there is a well spoken this month, and that we will resume in September. But check, I'd hate to misinform you.

Thanks Keith, I'd love to be a good journal writer, and I have tried, but I lack the organisation and discipline. But in respect of looking back, I too almost never do. It's always struck me that life is a bit like a good book or even movie, where we all know roughly what the end will be, but the plot is so well written that we're compelled to read it anyway. It is all about the narrative that we choose to write for ourselves every day, just by living and making choices. So glad it resonated with you my friend.

I saw this earlier today on FB, Kev. Another pearler. But a little different from your Grimstone Low stable. What I liked about it especially was that it was written as a child would write it.
Are we on for Thursday next week to perform in the flesh?

Jason,
There are some poems which speak to the individual in direct and personal ways which the author/poet cannot be aware of . This poem speaks to me in such a way as I have for many years kept a daily journal. For me it encapsulates a great deal of what I have written and now have in mind to write. An intriguing poem. Strangely enough I never re read what I have written in the years that are past.
Thank you for this
Keith

Indeed. The miracles of small pleasures that ease the mind and
give living that extra zest. We tend to overlook them in the
frenetic rush that we have imposed upon our existence.

Really liked this one.
Someone recently released a Muscovy duck on a local pond (wings clipped so it couldn't fly away) and the local residents were up in arms.
I know what you mean about being ugly.
