From On The Beach in Melbourne

About the Substack

It's "the best of times and the worst of times." Best materially, worst philosophically! Read & write objective analyses of the good the bad & the insane. Comments and gabs, pro or con, are welcome. In the unlikely event that I remove any I will tell why.
