fools

i was biking around portland a few days ago and i saw a great blue heron fishing. he was as close as he was magnificent. i stopped my bike to watch him. the trail was busy but i was the only one who stopped. why? why was i the one who looked like some idiot because i stopped to watch this wonder? the other people around me are the fools who passed him by as though he were a blade of grass melding into a lawn. seriously, portland sucks and my distaste for this city environment is only enhanced by my genuine contempt for roughly 98% of those with whom i share residence. i miss the sticks. I miss farmtown. I miss china. for both i miss the environment and the people. luckily i plan on frequenting the farm. i have to if i am to remain sane. had a marvelous trip there this past weekend. much thanks to all those involved in the weekend especially the tumbledown trip crew.
