10. On visitors

This morning I got up at 430am to catch a 6am flight for a dental appointment in another city. Onboard that flight was where most of this was written. I’m rarely up to see the sunrise these days - the Sunday mornings marvelling at the sunrise from a dusty warehouse or forest clearing surrounded by massive speaker stacks and equally dusty people are a long lost memory.  Dental health matters, kids - but you don’t realize this until it’s too late. (Also, politicians, publicly funded dental health would save huge future public costs in chronic illness and disease).

I was out at at Monash this week and one of the academics asked me about whether ‘visitors’ is actually the right term for people who come to museums.
