Now is the time when I lament how nothing stays the same, and progress marches inexorably on. What other outcome can there possibly be when you think you've found a little slice of paradise? So it goes.
The beautiful little creek by my house, so full of fish and fossils and history, is soon to become the site of the new Schlitterbahn waterpark. And with, more people, traffic, pollution, millions of gallons of chlorinated water etc. So long old friend. Today I eased on upstream to my favori

As a result, it's quite obvious when there's a car parked
Seems like it's not a real blog thing, where I can just keep writing and posting on going stuff in one place, more like a forum post that people can respond to and I can respond back, but not in the forums. Not sure I'll like that, kinda ruins the continuity, not that I plan on much continuity anyways, as this will be more stream of consciousness writing about things kicking around in my head.
