Scott Russell Sanders

from Oct 6th lecture:
The first thing I thought of when listening to his lecture was Ed Begley JR, environmentalist extraordinaire. I never watched his show, but there was an episode of Amazing Cakes where his wife forced them to put thousands of windmill turbines on a cake for his birthday. I assumed he was nuts. I felt like Sanders was talking to us as though he knew that we were constant wastes of energy and space. Granted, he was at Sweet Briar, so it was a reasonable assumption, but I know that I personally don't take electricity for granted, and I am aware of how I'm killing the earth slowly with my two cans of hairspray for Halloween, trying to perfect by beehive. Honestly, what I remember most from the lecture was my novelty Cheshire Cat mug going very well with Meaghan's Beatles mug, and Griffith's Three Stooges. And also that I should plant more flowers. The most fascinating thing I found was that Sanders was really multi-talented. Since I am scientifically and mathematically impaired, I thought it was wonderful that Sanders was able to write so beautifully.
