No people went through an environment faster,
Donald Worster
and more destructively and wastefully,
than Americans have gone through North America.
I again took the long-cut home from coffee shop, making a loop around Spring Creek Park. Round trip is about 11.5 miles. The bicycle trail runs through Rolland Moore Park where people can picnic, toss frisbees, baseball diamonds, playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts. I loved the clouds this morning and stopped to take a quick snapshot. This looks out over a field of grass and wetland. Behind these trees is the park and some apartment buildings. Behind me are houses that go west for about two miles. Also behind me was a guy on a four-wheeler spraying for weeds. The smell was repulsive! It seems wthin cities we find very little natural environments.

Wow, this post took me back to Florida in the mid-sixties, when the mosquito spray trucks would come through in the middle of the night. Everything would be dripping wet afterwards. And it was not advisable to walk barefoot in the grass. Is any wonder we all have cancer?
But this is a beautiful sky!

I also remember the mosquito truck that would go through the neighborhood spraying and riding our bikes through the midst of that stuff. I wonder how many brain cells I damaged doing that? Have a great day, my friend!
