"You can see a lot just by observing."
That is definitely true. On the plus side, it is a good way to learn, accurately and for yourself. On the minus side, there is a very good chance that others won't like what you observe, and will deny it and condemn you for saying it." The of course is the lesson of the story "The Emperor's New Clothes."
The view from here. A bit of individual philosophy, science, and art.

About Me
- DRB
- Northbrook, Illinois
- I could be described as a "wandering scholar," or a "scholarly wanderer." In recent years, my main interest has been travel: generally road trips, taking plenty of time, following the older, more scenic and historic highways and by-ways, stopping at the drive-ins and diners along the way. But, before I retired in 2003, I was a public servant, researcher, writer and teacher for more than 35 years. Now, when at home, I am a social service volunteer and peer counselor. In consequence, I have been a lot of places, met a lot of people, and in particular read an awful lot of books; bought even more; and wrote a few myself, too. From this experience, I have arrived at a few central conclusions or fundamental tenets. This blog is a place to set these down--first briefly, and perhaps later in more detail. It was begun on January 6th, 2010, at which time I was 67 years old.
