I'm very lucky to be able to live in Nevada and to share in our rich railroad history.

Mulholland tricked the community into letting him have authority to develop the lake, make it a tourist destination. He used that power to steal the lake from this valley 110 years ago, recent rains have half filled that lake first time since 1913, bring back Owens Lake.

    I wonder who picks the select few "artists" to do whatever they want and be fed with limitless wealth for whatever they do? (And who decides on membership to that club?) Someone in the International Art Community gave someone the authority (Dark State like?) to sit on the sidewalk and point out a random passer-by to make famous. It's like TikTok fame ... millions of fans looks great but they're millions of dumb people. All of this gives credence to the adage, "It's not what you know, but who you know." (Sadly true I'm afraid.) Stardom these days is manufactured.

    One of the tenets made in Burning Man is "decommodification." That means the focus is self-sustainable vibe and avoid promoting any type of brand names every "status quo" person knows. . You are allowed to have stuff with brand names like Coke or Pepsi in the grounds, but mentioning it by heckling or shouting that out 9for example, "Coca-Cola for sale!") is strictly forbidden. If you are caught, you will be told to stop. Continue further and you are heave-hoed from Burning Man grounds.

    My first trip to Burning Man was in 1992. I was a part of a group that were invited to bring the first sound system out to Burning Man that year. When I arrived around midnight, the camp was silent.....not a sound. There was no light, no color and no sound. The camp looked like a bedraggled refugee camp in black and white. We parked on the edge of the camp and did what any rational human being would do: We put a Trance CD in the boombox and turned it up. Larry Harvey appeared out of the darkness and we were just hanging out talking when another gentleman showed up. He said: "So you're the asshole ravers"? Yes....thats how it started out there for us in 1992. I looked over to Larry Harvey....he said nothing. Larry told us before we got out there that some in the camp may not like our amplified presence out there in the Desert. Although there was about 600 people attending that year, only about 10-15 people came out to the sound camp which was placed 1 mile outside the main camp. The main camp was boycotting the amplified sound camp because they wanted quiet at night. I get it....Desert silence is profound.....but so is music.......and so is dancing. Inclusiveness was not one of the principals of Burning Man at that time. Regardless, Larry Harvey had a vision for Burning Man and he had personally invited us.....and yes, Larry Harvey did come out to the Sound camp that first year to see how his vision was coming along. I offered him a hit of Ecstasy.....he declined. In spite of the resistance, Burning Man had a destiny and Larry Harvey, in spite of the resistance, stewarded Burning Man through those early challenging years so that you can now enjoy the transformational experience of Burning Man today. I went back to Burning Man one more time in 1995 and have not been back since. I'll give it one more go one of these years. When you are enjoying the music and dancing out there at Burning Man in the coming years........think of us. Peace.

      I haven't returned to Burning Man since 1996. Someone wrote recently that they received some good advice from a friend: "Stay away from areas where large crowds congregate.". I stay pretty true to that these days. Its alway challenging out at Burning Man,,,even in good years. I lost my Van in 1996 15 miles from camp when I got stuck in the mud at the edge of the playa. Back then you could drive anywhere you wanted to. Took 3 days before the mud dried out and someone could pull me out. My shelter, supplies, everything gone for 3 days. I rolled up in someones carpet to stay warm at night. Very challenging and you sure find out who your friends are..........not many. But thats Burning Man. Thanks for writing.@@rigelb9025
