life in a postautomotive world

In the world of tomorrow, individual transportation (cars) will disappear as they become totally nonviable; with petroleum reserves depleted and population exploding, citiscapes will encroach upon every rural area on earth.

flit & dart

Long and fulfilling day yesterday - I took Hava to Seattle for a Valentine's Day pre-surprise (we both work wednesday) at the Science Center, where they have an exhibit that is a giant humid room of tropical vegetation & butterflies, which fly all around you and sometimes land on your shirt. Which can be surprisingly terrifying when they're the size of a sparrow. I also got in some much needed clothing shopping around the U-district, and H's parents got us tickets to last night's Symphony for Christmas so everything came to a head with classical music. Nice. A young brit guy performed the Grieg concerto, which was very good (though he rushed the cadenzas, sloppy), and then they rolled out the Bruckner Ninth, which was very... sprawlng. All in all, a successful trip.
