I haven't been ignoring your past few emails, in fact I am trying to compose an end to the 'letter to india' re the promenade architecturale, and I am now also thinking about 'Piranesi and the torture of two-dimensional space' as a topic to investigate.

I wonder how much more elegant North, Central, and South America were in the millennia prior to 1492. Is progress really just another word for ongoing discontent?

Then again, what if ongoing contentment is what real progress is all about?

Vaughn, I'm curious about your comment that "the Black Mesa mine and power plant is a large portion of the juice that powers the bright lights and big city of Las Vegas." Do you know what other sources power Las Vegas? For example, I thought the power generated at Hoover Dam was the primary electrical source for Las Vegas, although I have to admit that I really only assumed that.

As to "BTUs and lifestyle", you've got me thinking, and I've come to the conclusion that a modern lifestyle doesn't even exist without abundant BTUs. Does this abundance simply make wastefulness too easy? Does the abundance make (most of) us otherwise oblivious to its actual source? Do the makings of an easier life(style) also make it easier to forget? I'm wondering whether the "hook" you elude to might not be found somewhere near the oblivion factor of 'our' electrified lifestyles.
