A quote on not knowing…

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents.  We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.  The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

-H.P. Lovecraft, “The Call of Cthulhu”

Monterey Bay

On a whim, we decided to drive to Monterey on the Friday of the 4th of July weekend.  4 hours later…we saw some nice views.

We drove through Salinas in an attempt to avoid traffic into Monterey, the activity in all the agricultural fields was really impressive.   You could feel the churn and scale of this food system that feeds the country.  Much different from the activity you see in the corn and soybean fields of the Midwest.
