11/12/20: Solstice Vlog Update: Well, I guess with so many miles to cover, it had to happen at some point! As you can see from my "Vlogget" below, I exploded the car battery. I hadn't anticipated I'd be shooting and editing so much video. I hasten to add, it does feel like exactly the right thing to do - it feels wonderful and rightly aligned to involve you all. That said, with all the travel and energy work too, I'll have to be careful I don't explode my own batteries too!

As you'll see though, this Breakdown cloud had a very silver lining...
