December 2003: I first run across dieoff.com. It's like meeting an old friend.

I realize I learned it all, in dribs and drabs, back in my college years, and in my own readings of evolution subsequently.

One of his footnotes names a professor I had, Craig Hatfield, of U of Toledo geology dept. This man, I know, is not a kook. He's been warning of oil shortages since the early 80s.

And so I'm hooked.

TLS,

I have a relevant article half-written. But I'm waiting on permission to add a picture. It's a picture of a cat drinking a beer while lounging on a couch. Literally has it's paws around the beer and looks like it's been drinking it. Caption I added is "the problem with seeking the truth is sometimes you find it."
