Quote of the day...er...week...umm...hey, look, a quote!!
Tibi gratias agimus quod nihil fumas.
It says "...freedom of...", not "...freedom from...".
"It's amazing to me how many people think that voting to have the government give poor people money is compassion. Helping poor and suffering people is compassion. Voting for our government to use guns to give money to help poor and suffering people is immoral self-righteous bullying laziness. People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we're compassionate we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint." - Penn Jillette

Oh so lovely -- and the internet disposed of the humidity for me! Perhaps some other vital ingredients disappeared along the way as well, but I enjoyed the essence, thank you!
That is SO COOL! i love the mushrooms and "don't piss off the fairies!"
SO NEAT!
Can I build a fort along that path? I won't really have battles there. Just a place to read privately and park my bike. What a great place!!
What an amazing path.
