I hate paper plates. There. I said it. I hate paper plates. I used to find them useful at times – look how easy it is to just toss them away! No dishes! Ta da! But where do they go? Right into a landfill, where they’ll sit and slowly digest forever, like Boba Fett in… Read More Sustainability and Using the Good China
Not much in the way of pictures today. Just me thinking. A lot. I’ve been very quiet of late, because there have been a lot of things going on. I hurt myself last year, so my hiking took a bit of a back burner while I rehabbed my knee. I spent a lot more time… Read More Muir’s Woods, My Woods

I hear you, I… Read More Highbanks – Dripping Rock Trail – Columbus, Ohio

I used to take my dad here, and we spent a lot of time looking at birds and squirrels together. But – I hadn’t come with the express… Read More Inniswood Metro Gardens – Columbus, Ohio
