So hey all, sorry I've been grouchy. I know being Jedi, and a lot of you young and men, you can't imagine ever being sick or you tell yourselves you could somehow mentally overcome whatever it is, which is how I feel when I'm okay - unstoppable. Someday though -- we all die.
I live in a nature park (basically) - I have Osprey and Bald Eagles - Deer, Elk, Sea Lions etc. so I get to go outside everyday and I love it. I hike, run and otherwise spend a lot of time outdoors in it, even in the rain, even in the hail - I've been out running in 60mph winds here (my skin doesn't like that much though actually....)
I probably love it too much. They're wanting to put in a Liquid Natural Gas storage unit in the park that will be the new skyline. This involves dredging the area I love so much and well, I won't go on, it will be massive habitat destruction. People here keep telling me not to worry about it because there is nothing that can be done (think tax revenue! $$) and besides, birds don't live that long anyway right?
Since with all open honesty -- I like the sea lions and Osprey much better then most of the idiot people. I know we're supposed to love and value human life above that of big old fir trees and birds, but hell - there are LOADS of people. Can't we just go live in cities or something and not rape just EVERY piece of land?
The people here have put up a darn good fight and I'm proud of those who did like my neighbors - even if sometimes it was because they didn't want the pipeline going through their backyard and taking down their property value to nill.
Anywho - in a few weeks I'll know more and I should be on the mend some what or I'll just stop posting so I don't depress everyone.
I'm sorry that this is happening to you and yours. I hope your journeys will find you in better spirits. People often don't think 6 feet ahead of them. Funny that is about the average length of their own shadows.
