Ah, thanks Candice -- that piece, which I had missed, provided perfect entry into a grey winter’s day here in the NorthEast. Some great lines were copied right into the day’s work: “The new results suggest that the universe, as mysterious as it essentially is, may not be entirely perverse.” “The mountains are where the snow is. The universe is where the light is.” And thanks, Dr. Heavens & Dr. Verde.
