It has been one extremely busy week for yours truly since this event happened.   As I type this, I&#8217;ve got less than 2 hours before I head off for a one week excursion into the big Burning Man party in the Nevada desert.  I&#8217;ve never been to this thing before,  but I&#8217;ve invited to work on a documentary project, so I figured I&#8217;d go for it.
