Becstarr: Moth whirlwinds

Dinner with Dave and a big walk in Sydney Park through dusk and a whirlwind of moths. Major topic of discussion was the permeability of the "made" world to the natural world. Wei (who's from Taiwan) finds it incredibly disconcerting-- maybe in Australia, with the bogongs, spiders, the possibility of snakes in the backyard, and the often intemperate climate, we're more used to it? I like this permeability and find it reassuring, even if it is uncomfortable.

Dave is still not convinced about compost, though-- he claims due to childhood traumas. "I understand the concept that dealing with your own waste is good, but...". One day I will convince him! He also refuses to look at the worm farm. Pff.
