High rising

Do I have a preference
Low rising or high-rises
Hitting the skies, aiming
For clouds. Ambitious
Teetering into the blue
Or on this morning, the
Grey. This has always
Been the future. Upward
Towering over the little
5-storey and even way
Above your 15th floor
Condominium, claiming
Its place. Not just holding
Its ground, but piercing
The sky. Ever higher and
Bigger. Is it better, or am
I just too conservative?

Is there a good reason to bring extinct creatures back to walk amongst us?

Isn’t their demise part of the cycle of life?

Will a wooly mammoth contribute a positive energy to the eco-system?

The long-term goal is to create a living, walking elephant-mammoth hybrid that would be visually indistinguishable from its extinct forerunner and — if released into its natural habitat in sufficient numbers — could potentially help restore the fragile Arctic tundra ecosystem.

The goal appears to be to combat adverse outcomes brought about by global warming. 🤔 As you can tell, I am of mixed mind; they weren’t here for so long, how will they adapt to the terrain. They aren’t a natural product either, but a GMO mammal.

Not really

What are three objects you couldn’t live without?

This post is for my dear friend ACJ, who famously asked, “What’s with the cranes?”

The cranes are turning my city into a Dubai or Singapore. 

International architects make the international landscape a uniform sight. Tall sometimes glassy sometimes  granitine buildings can be spotted all over the city map.
