WeatherGirl’s Station

We're back from Blighty, regular life has recommenced. Our favourite alternative student radio station is still KUMM. To listen to the live feed online visit them at kumm.org. Phi and I have a show Sundays from Noon to 2pm CST.

A Story of Violent Faith. By Jon Krakauer. This story reinforces my avoidance of organised religion. Any belief system that asks me to suspend rational thought and treats whole categories of human beings as less than or other, is not something I wish to embrace or promote. I wonder how many other, older, religions have such unsteady footings in their origins. Krakauer writes with an informed and accessible style and I highly recommend this book. (I’ve also read Into The Wild and Into Thin Air.)

Current temperature: here 75F/24C, there 16C/61F
