Man from Nantucket

Sure.

We all know about this guy, the thing he could do, and the thing he would do if his ear was a different orifice--

But this most infamous of the nasty limericks (ever notice how "limerick" sounds dirty, all by itself?) contains a profound observation regarding human behavior--

If it's there, we'll exploit it.

If it can be fucked, we'll fuck it.

So with no small measure of dismay and horror I will head out into the hinterlands this summer, hoping to see a bit of what's left, before we dam it, cut it, pave it, burn it, harvest it or otherwise fuck it--

I have just enough gear and money to make it till September. Keep your fingers crossed that plenty, or at least sustenance, awaits on the other side.

More, later.
