0:00.0	Hi everybody this is Scott Sad this is I believe the first sad truth clip
0:06.3	since the new year hope that your new year is off to a start. I just returned with the family from Florida. I went there. I had a few
0:18.9	professional meetings. Also tried to relax a bit, but the weather was uncooperative.
0:25.0	In any case, I'm currently reading this book.
0:29.0	If you could see it, it's Naturalist by E.O. Wilson. It says autobiography. Great book. I highly recommend it.
0:37.0	And in the book he recounts all of the expeditions that he's had certainly early in his career when he went to New Caledonia and Australia and what is now Vanuatu and other South Pacific islands and that triggered a thought
