I went downstairs to get cigarettes from my car. When I came up to the balcony to smoke, we realized there was a mother moose curled up in the snow. Eek. Her calf came along and wandered about the sidewalk for a bit before flopping likewise. The flopped moose in the third pic is the mother.
You probably already know Kim Jong Il as being the dead ex-leader of North Korea who presided over the country’s descent into famine. But did you know he was also an author, kind of?
One of KJI’s favorite things to do was “on-the-spot guidance”, which he would give at construction sites, communal farms, factories, or movie sets. He’d show up and give them Kim Jong Il Pro Tips, which were accepted readily by everyone, because the alternative was to be killed immediately, or worse, sent to a labor camp with their entire family, tortured for years, and then killed.
Living in a bubble of his own making, though, KJI took the praise of his advice to mean that he really was a genius, especially in cinema, and wrote this book to get his great movie ideas into writing. The only copy I found for sale was $200, but if you’ve got an unstoppable hankering to read garbage, I found a PDF of it at an official North Korean website.
Not a super comforting guy, is what I’m saying.

A scientific colleague tells me about a recent trip to the New Guinea highlands where she visited a stone age culture hardly contacted by Western civilization. They were ignorant of wristwatches, soft drinks, and frozen food. But they knew about Apollo 11. They knew that humans had walked on the Moon. They knew the names of Armstrong and Aldrin and Collins. They wanted to know who was visiting the Moon these days.
