I feel terrible about the flooding that is going on in the American Midwest. Sadly, however, it seems to fit, given the multitude of severe earth events that have been going on of late. As I was lying on the beach by the lake, watching the cloud cover blow away to reveal the sun, I came to the epiphany that mother nature is not going to go down without a fight. I think sometimes the arrogance of the human condition causes us to forget that mighty species have before been wiped from existence. The extent of the damage we have done to and stress we have put upon this earth is becoming more explicit by the month. Like any wounded being, mother nature (if you will,) will fight its own obliteration with increasing ferocity.

On a lighter note, I had a fantastic time with Chris last weekend!
