With the cruise control on, managed to have a lovely conversation with Karthik on Jared Diamond’s excellent book Guns, Germs and Steel. (In Jay’s first EV was the DC motor Reva, which he bought way back in the early 2000s. Our booking was mistakenly done for the same day checkout. It’s a Zen feeling.

There was a nice selection of books, especially guides to the flora and fauna of the High Sierras. We also made regular trips to Washington DC to lobby for support for the National Parks at the House, Senate, and NGO levels and we learned that we could meet with anyone we gave money to. We also found magazines ( Utne Reader anyone?)
