Take a Hike

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

-- Henry David Thoreau

Going into the weekend, a thought lifted from another blog, that of a younger blue voice.

The environment is not really my beat here at TBV, but this weekend I will be canoeing with some Boy Scouts on the Delaware near Narrowsburg NY. Last time we went up there a blad eagle flew right over my canoe -- quite a thrill for this Jersey boy.

Sometimes I wonder if we would not all be environmentalists if we just spent more time in the enjoyment of our natural surroundings.

Have a great weekend.

Neil
