Three years on the porch

With today's whimsical Musing I mark the third anniversary of the Science Musings website. If those who contribute here are typical of the much greater number of visitors who come and go without comment, then I am honored indeed to have so many thoughtful readers. Thank you.

It would appear we are a community of mostly like-minded people, who respect the scientific way of knowing, and exalt in the beauty and mystery of the world. We love questions more than answers, and distrust dogma wherever we find it, including, of course, in science. Our purpose is not to proselytize, but to celebrate. We don't agree on everything, but we disagree with respect and learn from our disagreements.

And we all thank my sister Anne for her weekly gifts of cyber beauty. You can click to enlarge.
