			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1767" href="http://weird-fiction.net/phenomena/obsolucid-dreaming/attachment/agerussia"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1767" title="bioluminaries" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/agerussia.jpeg" alt="" width="185" height="224" /></a>Whimsical are the home-brew <em><a href="http://www.eco-business.com/news/2010/mar/24/geoengineering-bad-idea-whose-time-has-come/" target="_blank">Pinatobu Options</a></em> for cooling this planet, tactics advancing even now by the obsolucid dreamers who have taken them to the Peruvian hills. Operating in a realm of suspended disbelief, this <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/latin_america/10333304.stm" target="_blank">no-fi geo-engineering scheme</a> relies on the &#8220;fool&#8217;s gold&#8221; of rocks painted white, a retrograde remediation intended to attract displaced climactic conditions for glacial expanse.  <em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Iceman" target="_blank">Minnesotan Ice Men</a></em> could not be reached for comments on what could be a formidable retirement home for their ilk.  But I digress.   <a rel="attachment wp-att-1768" href="http://weird-fiction.net/phenomena/obsolucid-dreaming/attachment/22_8a"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1768" title="ice man" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/22_8a.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="103" /></a></p>
<p>As a <a href="http://animals.howstuffworks.com/animal-facts/bioluminescence.htm/printable" target="_blank">bioluminescent</a> flying organism myself, I have a particular penchant for &#8220;giving a hoot&#8221; about both the sordid lack of funds for varied <a href="http://world-information.org/trd/intro" target="_blank">tactical reality</a> campaigns and the ambiguous light-forms concerned. <a rel="attachment wp-att-1788" href="http://weird-fiction.net/phenomena/obsolucid-dreaming/attachment/light_pollution"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1788" title="light_pollution" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/light_pollution.jpg" alt="" width="183" height="120" /></a>Equally admonished by my attention is the rising wave of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark-sky_movement" target="_blank">scotological extremists</a> clamoring for an outlandish void of autonomous lucidity lest it interfere with the reception of sanctioned astronomies.  Of such autonomous activity, <a href="http://inamidst.com/lights/" target="_blank">bioluminaries</a>, including <em>Will-o-the-Whisps</em>, <em>the Min Min Light,  The Hornet Spooklight</em> and <em>St. Elmo&#8217;s fire</em> find themselves faced with bouts of <a href="http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/structural-unemployment.html" target="_blank">structural unemployment</a> and the increasing demands of dark sky desperados.</p>
<p>It would not be unprecedented for a total recall of such uppity astronomers&#8217; dim ideals.  Outmoded it seems are the now languishing liberal attitudes towards <a href="http://www.resologist.net/lands102.htm" target="_blank">anomalous phenomena of the air</a>.  Where as once giddy onlookers found Martian canals, lost planets and phantom airships in most any instance of atmospheric light-leak, such elements are now implicated as latent light pollution if paid attention at all.  If aforementioned geo-hacks are the craze, then bring forth a battalion of stones painted with alien craft, of mountains adorned with undulating orbs of the unknown&#8230;that these direct action paintings might summon forth falls of bioluminescent dissent <em>en masse</em>, recharging uncertain imaginaries, pronto!</p>
