151 miles

I'm at the public library in Pawling, NY as I wait for a load of laundry to finish around the corner. In an attempt to wash as many salty and damp clothes as possible, I'm wearing my rain jacket and soccer shorts, commando-style. ;-)

Frindy, Shadow, and I are parting ways here, and I will miss their quiet, patient company. Shadow's the fast hiker, but will always wait around the bend or on top of the hill. Frindy and I have a system down where she yields to me on the uphills and I yield to her on the straight-a-ways. We take our time, sign shelter registers, talk to other hikers, eat lunch at deli (what's the plural form?), and enjoy the going.

Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
