The Right Column

Christmas

2015

Today was warm. We went to Purgatory Chasm, which is in Sutton, MA. It's a fault line exposed on the surface, very awesome and inspiring as a rock formation, with exceptionally easy access. Also a series of easy trails loop through this forested area, with the topography of a mountaintop, like a lot of Massachsetts, with hard granite ledge at the surface. But this place is also with a giant cleave down through it, like someone took a giant axe and cut the world in half.

How was it made? 'A gigantic earthquake' is one theory. What caused the earthquake? Do we really know? Perhaps an asteroid? In any case the lay of the land was drastically different some few thousand years ago. Lake Champlain was an inland sea, and much deeper. The Champlain Valley was a Great Lake. The Conneticuit Valley, and it's tributaries, also had large lakes too. The Georges Bank, which is below the sea to the East of Massachusetts Bay was another province above the sea during those times.

In other parts of the world there have also been major environmental change from just a few millium ago. For example in the South West: Arizonia, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah, the climate was significantly different only 1000 years ago. The reason for the sudden change? Some say volcanism.

Yes, constant change is the method of the Earth. And humanity may have very little impact long term.

Did the Sun ever really go down that night?

     the idea is that the words go here    we'll over lay the words, my dear  It'll all look cool, so have no fear.

Way cool! The above is starting to look a tiny bit like sheet music, which has been a long term plan of mine. Nice! The notes are too small! I'll need a new style for that, easy. By the time this is posted it should all be more correct.

above is just random, and I mean random, notes and is not a melody that I know, or any kind of song. I just pasted unicode music to see how it will look when I open the page. Kind of curious . . . "

using the styles of {position :fixed; display: block;} we can set the left and top to 0px, and then we get the effect that the musical notes appear at the top of the browser! I suppose I should have chosen position: relative, or something else. Anyway, it was kind of a startling effect, and I kindof really liked it. The bars didn't do what I wanted. And it covers over everything there, at the top of the page, so that non of the links work anymore, but it was a cool effect. I suppose the way to contain such a thing is to use the proper styles, but I did like the effect. And that, complete with the geuggification (gitter, or dapplery, dappery) that I do here, with 'callbacks' I could make some pretty pictures with unicode. Nice stuff. It needs to be contained in a div, and I let it loose on the page . . .

It was late when I did this, so I left it that way over night to remind myself to get back to it later. It's kind of necessary to make the correct style, or I screw up the page for all of the other content. CSS can be such a beach (during a rainstorm, with dangerous riptides.) But it's a happy beach if you know the secrets, and they are. That is why my site has so many demonstration programs: so that people have a baseline from which to expand and make some real art with it.

Winter Bird
Asleep in a bush
Awakens suddenly
with the passing skier
deep in the wild valley
and shrecks.
The cross-country skier leaps.



Off in the darkness huddled against the seats and the wall
the columns were shaded, the hearts
set down and in the far away
resting
waiting.

The blare of a trumpet?
but's it's an angry bird.

I got nothing more
