Nature always finds a way. Alas, we in the first world countries are often far separated from nature. Our first world offerings and privileges have kept nature at bay for those of us lucky to maintain a decent standard of living in this first world. It is to this effect that we have grown accustomed to every form of live being a guarantee. Having some special purpose. Even the lives of animals around us, have a special meaning and purpose in our hearts.

Things have been a little tough for me this year. With prices rising, and the cost of living having increased, it has been very difficult to manage owning a home by myself, with no other occupants. Terri has been very great tho, and I imagine when she moves here, we should be all set with our combined income.

I have been itching to get out and do some exploring and adventure as of late. It has been about two years since I last went camping. That adventure was alright, but was a little unfulfilling. Due to my companions alcoholic and low activity nature, we didn't get to do too much in the way of hiking. It was mostly spending time at the campsite and driving around.
