When
I despair of reading news of interest in our provincial and boring
news media, I remember that often the most important news is local,
and through the events in the lives of people in these fascinating
and foreign venues the real humanity of the world is revealed.
Furthermore,
when our major news outlets are so humorless except for especially
selected “humor providers”, some of the people of the world
recognize the odd situation they are in and play on it, usually with
a straight face.
Such
is the case with the very interesting and somewhat remote Siberian
Times (www.siberiantimes.com).
Whenever
I have visited the Siberian Times over the last few years, perhaps
every six months or so, I have been rewarded with a series of
articles and topics that are interesting and often well photographed.
Musk Oxen in a circle
In
the current instantiation, we have articles about a baby boom among
Musk Oxen, the secret mating rituals of rare Siberian leopards, an
analysis about whether a recent meteor was shot down by a helpful UFO
(with excellent comments), an excellent pictorial about a Siberian
coal mine and an alarming article about out-of-control pond scum on
Lake Baikal.
