A horrid thought. But I would equally dread a world without the sound of wind. A still and dead, anechoic chamber that would be.

A profound thought as is your wont, Perry. You are a philosopher- engineer nonpareil. I am partial to both. My father was a civil engineer for part of his long career and I later became a donor to my university's College of Engineering and Computer Science, sponsoring a student group, Engineers Without Borders, as well as contributing to the College's outreach efforts in Africa involving water desalinization in Kenya. I recall.. I was friends to two successive Deans and always considered Engineering the queen of human endeavors! Why, without engineers we would all still be sleeping out in the open, rubbing sticks together!!

Without is difficult but I know there is a lot less than when I was a kid many years ago - many fewer insects too

A slow motion tragedy so enormous we feel helpless to act.
