Politics
Much like his father, Stevenson remained a staunch Tory for most of his life. His cousin and biographer, Sir Graham Balfour, said that "he probably throughout life would, if compelled to vote, have always supported the Conservative candidate".[35] During his college years, he briefly identified as a "red-hot Socialist." However, by the year 1877, at only twenty-seven years of age and before having written most of his major fictional works, Stevenson reflected: "For my part, I look back to the time when I was a Socialist with something like regret. I have convinced myself (for the moment) that we had better leave these great changes to what we call great blind forces: their blindness being so much more perspicacious than the little, peering, partial eyesight of men [...] Now I know that in thus turning Conservative with years, I am going through the normal cycle of change and travelling in the common orbit of men's opinions. I submit to this, as I would submit to gout or gray hair, as a concomitant of growing age or else of failing animal heat; but I do not acknowledge that it is necessarily a change for the better—I dare say it is deplorably for the worse."[36]
From a review of H.L. Mencken’s American Mercury, found in the
German magazine Querschnitt, 1924 (translation by me):
We in Europe and particularly in Germany, we know only the bad, or to
put it more mildly, the disappointing side of America, not its
aspirations and its striving for human worth despite Ford and Wilson,
despite world war and “business.” But Mencken, this magician,
successfully call forth the powers to show us this other America, that
is morally clean, without becoming sour, that is intelligent without
expressing simply a trick of the advertising life and politics, and
that, not least of all, understands how to write.

A translation of Om Mani Padme Hum from a small framed piece at the Lessers:
OM: I invoke the path and experience of universality so that
MANI: the jeweline luminesity of my immortal soul/mind/spirit
PADME: may be unfolded within the depths of the lotus center of awakening consciousness
HUM: and I be wafted by the ecstasy of breaking through all bonds and horizons.

One way to insert an image is to click on Image in the navagation
bar. You will be
asked to choose the image and will have to give it a title in the
alternative text box. You then figure out the demensions of the
photo on the page, either in Pixels or in % of the page. If you
use Pixels, the computer will make sure that the ratio of height to
width stays constant. Then you can decide where you want the
illus. relative to its text by clicking on the Appearance tab.
For the amount of space around the illus., I like 10 pixels left and
right and top and bottom. You can also align the text and
image. You can also drag the image to where you want it in the
text, then change the alignment to right left or above or below.
Once you've got the image where you want it, you can post it to the website.
First, save the file to the Index folder in the Website
folder. Save the illus. to the Images folder in the Website
folder. Then in Foxfire under the tools tab, open
FireFTP. The files on the left are those on the computer, those
on the right are those on the website. When you first start
FireFTP, you will have to click on Connect (on the left below the
Google box) and will probably have to double click on the esauboeck.com
folder to open it. The images folder has all of the images on the
website. The index folder has all of the pages on the
website. To copy the image, click on the images folder to open
it. The right and left panes should look more or less
identical. Click once on the image name on the left to select it
then on the arrow to copy it to the web page. Do the same for the
edited page to copy it to the index folder. You will have to tell
the machine to overwrite the file.
What about those bees, eh? Apis Meliflora.

The news is an article I wrote about an early court record which got me my folklore degree. Naturally I put it with Bibliophiles of the Law. It will land me in hot water for naive understanding.

Climatically, Australia sits across and to the south of the horse latitudes, currently referred to as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). In the north, southeast trade winds descend to well south of the Tropic of Capricorn, bringing the northwest monsoon to the northern regions (Top End). This summer (December to February) pattern causes heavy thunderstorm. To the south, westerly tradewinds
push counter clockwise moving fronts formed over the Great Southern
Ocean. These bring periodic winter rains once the ITCZ moves north.
The resulting rainfall patterns interact with geology to cause a number
of Australia's ecological features. The central desert is possible
because the eastern 
highlands remove water from the
South East Trade
Winds. Further, these winds limit the southern advance of the monsoon.
The monsoon fills the flood plains of Kakadu and Arnhem Land annually.
