Language Liberalism Freethought Birds

Verbing Weirds Language only if you're expecting it to work in a simple way. This is a special case of the more general truth that Language Weirds.

Only when a republic's life is in danger should a man uphold his government when it is in the wrong. There is no other time.

The church says Earth is flat; but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence in a shadow than the church.

If we can't find Heaven, there are always bluejays.

Volcanoes

I'm in Bellingham, Washington, for a few days. Since I'm not in Washington, I didn't take the same flight I used to take to Seattle. This one came from Dallas, and it came by a different route. We saw three of the Cascade volcanoes and passed very close to a fourth.

The first picture shows Adams and Hood behind it. The second is the ruined cone of St Helens. And in the last two is Ranier.

Nice shots. My wife and I flew into Seattle on our way to Alaska on our honeymoon in 2005. We got to see Mount St. Helens. Once when I flew into Seattle for work, it was clear enough to see Ranier from the airport. I didn't look real. It looked like a fake backdrop in a Star Trek episode.
