I have promised myself to post more often, but it's hard when the early-spring canyons are so inviting, and the news of the day--any day--is depressingly the same.
We all need a break from the world sometimes. But the world doesn't go away just because we're not watching. Shit happens.
People get blown up in Iraq. Politicians lie. Christian fundamentalists await the Rapture.
Sometimes it's hard to believe that we're not on the downside of the slippery slope to, if not extinction, then to a sorry squalid Hobbs-ian state of perpetual war and moral diminishment. Maybe the organochlorines building up in our bodies will finally make it imposssible for us to reproduce. Maybe that's the good news.
Wow! How's that for a bleak outlook? Do I need a hike or what??
