Everything people do plays out in space on, in, or over the ground, so therefore all of human endeavor can be described through its land use.  -Damon Farragut

Editor’s Note
Welcome to the 40th issue of the Lay of the Land. This issue is mostly about presidential space and underground space. The former seems to be on a lot of people’s minds, the latter likely on some of our minds. Either way, these two themes have long been of interest to the CLUI, and only just now happen to rise up in the form of programs. Things ebb and flow, wax and wane, come and go, yin and yang, pile up, and sink down. We ride this out, on the surface, in our little boats, trying to safely get where we are going, keeping others in mind along the way. We are honored to share this part of this journey with you, dear reader, so thanks for being here, with us, as well as there, wherever you are. Have a safe trip. See you on the other side.
