I'm just starting my "nifty fifties", and still harbor a postive attitude. No small accomplishment there!
I live in God's own country, a spectacular slice of topography in western Nevada. Which, by the way, is also one of the few remaining free states in these United States of America.
I work in the wind energy industry, at a start up company with a new approach to wind energy. We hope to bring this process to the world soon, and anticipate that it will greatly increase the contribution of renewables to the world energy portfolio.
One day, soon I hope, we will all transition to a sustainable-energy based society. When that comes, we will look back and try to imagine what life was like in the "dark ages", when the sky was obscured with pollutants, when our rivers ran foul, and when the soil concealed our wastes.
On that same day, we will finally be in contention for the stewardship of other worlds.

I have always been an addict of the great beyond. I cannot imagine life without the belief, the faith, the knowledge, that other sentient beings exist and prosper. How could it be otherwise?
To think otherwise is shockingly small-minded. Really. Someday we will just shake our heads and smile, bemused at the current level of provincial thinking. Just look at the numbers!
Anyway, it is my fervent hope that I live to see the day when we are all forced to acknowledge, that we are not alone. I have devoted the run-time of my two humble computers to this goal. I hope that, in some small way, I can contribute to the greatest, and most profound, realization of the modern era.
I'm thinking our first discovery will be on Europa, an ocean world concealed under a mantle of ice and darkness. This world offers increasing temperatures, lower radiation levels, and more stable environments with increasing depth.
Then again, Arthur C. Clarke has seen evidence of plant life on the surface of Mars. That sort of testimony is hard to refute!
Whatever the case, it is certainly worth our patience.
