wild turkey came to visit in the campsite...a rather friendly bird...needs another turkey friend
5 days in the chaparral bio-type lots of green grass unlike last july and august...just heard that the state of california somehow forgot to implement the forest conservation plans that they have on the books...too damned bad because the drought is only going to make the forest and the chaparral much more likely to burn and i heard of a nearby fire only this morning...saw something moving fast on the road yesterday evening and saw that it was a small bobcat...probably a female...she might have been looking for the many rodents in the area...the usual clown brigade showed up to be obnoxious and invade my privacy...otherwise a very nice experience...found some water running over from the solar powered water tank so there was at least some water for a few days...i noticed the drip drip drip was a bit faster so i left a cake pan filled with water...decided it would be ok and not promote too much disease...
the news is getting depressing...like a slow motion train wreck...heard the commander in chief say that he thought Putin needed to removed from his job...and then his staff tried to "walk it back"...no he was right...when the world comes together and forms a military alliance to remove those leaders whose decisions affect the whole world in a negative way then...and only then...will this planet have a chance of reducing the effects of the inevitable weather changes which are fast effecting human capacity to exist and prosper on this planet...i think too many people have tried to be "diplomatic" and "tactful" and it will not get the job done...time is not on our side...
"Some people mistake weakness for tact. If they are silent when they ought to speak and so feign an agreement they do not feel, they call it being tactful, cowardice would be a much better name." Sir Frank Medlicott
