Outblog is all about my outdoor experiences.
Transit looks at the changing ways we get around.
Truck gives you stories and trips in my Ford Ranger.
No Jack McEneny Fodder Yet. I was busy this weekend, and it simply did not get done. I have about 5 pages of notes from his speech, so it will take a lot of effort to get it all together.
Instead, I subsituted it for a fodder on Why the Pine Bush Matters, which will cover your Pine Bush desires for today. I will try to get it together for tommorow, but we will have to wait and see.
Besides almost killing myself and dealing with annonying yuppies in state forest on Friday, working on Saturday, and going to Partridge Run on Sunday, I didn't have a lot of free time except to do some more reading.

At our darkest moments it's also a chance to explore ourselves and our weaknesses, and figure out how we will change the world. It's not always easy to do that, but if we work as hard as we personally can do then we will make good change to our society. P'Link
