"One hundred years from now, as people look back on
our use of this continent, we shall not be praised for our
reckless use of its oil, nor the loss of our forests;
we shall be heartily damned for all these things.
But we may take comfort in the knowledge that we
shall certainly be thanked for the national parks."

~Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur, 1931

QuickPost-July 6, 2010

I drove in to camp this afternoon accompanied by OMC's "How Bizarre." Despite their not being from New Hampshire, they pronounce bih-zah as if true New Hampsha Yankees. It seemed so appropriate as I returned from Moosilauke calmed by the Lodge and slow-moving because of the heat-wave. I found this ironic, knowing that tomorrow there will be a metaphorical storm at work.
