I've had thoughts about this

does livetweeting diminish the experience of raw nature? to a degree yes

but I'm more engaged in the process if I'm documenting it. making indelible memories

the act of driving to a destination rather than walking is transgressive to nature, but I wouldn't be able have the experience otherwise (within the constraints of a full-time job)

in conclusion, do what you feel like, enjoy this planet while it lasts. there might not be that many winters left

don’t actually die in a creek.

but hey time makes corpses of us all so don’t worry about airplanes. the only way to fix things like that is on a political/policy scale and you can’t really do that.

yeah kind of like that except probably the FBI

rumor has it when some guy here died in some tragic accident and his body wasn't recovered, they launched some additional investigation of his death to make sure he hadn't faked it

i think i might kind of know his wife so it seemed pretty awful
