Other than my friend Heidi and Elmo, everyone else I’m following on Twitter is no longer alive.
I get irrationally upset when people think that picture of the bear falling out of a tree is funny (there are tons of “lol” comments on it on Pinterest). That bear was shot with a tranquilizer dart because he had wandered into a residential area and was stuck up a tree. And that bear died a few days later. I fail to see the humor. I just see a poor animal being hurt.

Concord is one of my favorite places in the world and swimming at Walden is truly a spiritual experience.
"While men believe in the infinite some ponds will be thought to be bottomless."
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
