So this is not a blog I plan on adding to the compilation but I feel compelled.
Three things are at the focus of my attention, one I really need a shave and a hair cut because it is driving my nerves nutts, two my MG got 20 MPG that is a down right miracle, three it is freaking cold why can't summer arrive.
I remember last year I went to a old time festival. You know the ones where they drive steam engine tractors and stuff the like. They were playing some older folk music and I have to say that I enjoy that music just as much as rap, or anything I listen to. I think part of the reason is it communicates to me an era where social assistance didn't exist, a place where people broke the land.
The national geographic had an article on Jamestown and there are two things that strike me. One is they landed not on a pure untouched landscape but a agricultural system of horticulture, and so the drive to be environmental and restore the land to it's "natural" state is really something that hasn't been around for a long long time. But that's not to say that parks are useless on the contrary I think they are very valuable, but what is intention behind them?
Two, it's really how the Jamestown people changed the landscape/environment by introducing earthworms and foreign animals,plants, and diseases that the the colonist conquered the land.
Now I realize I have a fascination with humans struggling. humm.
So if you want a teaser for the next blog the plan is to name it Chains.
