Weekend Wanderings

The early spring weather sent the Goat out on one his favorite local trails, in the Spenceville Wildlife area a short bucolic drive from the Barnyard, for a meander through the oaks and gray pines to a little known waterfall. He was in search of early spring flowers for an ever hungry camera lens but, alas, found none and with the falls at normal flow so after a few minutes to graze and water, uphill it is to the best vista point.




This is a good idea of what vast parts of California look like, it sure ain't what that ten square mile peninisula of earthquake country, SanFrancisco, that yearns to rule us through dicdat, looks like. Those big city folk want to tell us country boys about the environment they pollute so we have to be carefull about the fish we eat or the game we hunt for sustenance because we don't trust meat factories.
Note the young age of these oaks, these hills were nude a century ago as was most of America, not so anymore, America has reclaimed most of its forests and it grasslands are suffering a bit from exotic invasion but are coming back as well. Americans are the best stewards of their homeland of any and the leading innovators in clean technology and the last thing we need is ultra-rich big city liberals like Nancy "Mommycrat" Pelosi telling us countryboys how to manage the wilderness we so love. Goat will stack the Nature Conservancy and Ducks Unlimited against the Sierra Club and Greenpeace any day for actually making a difference, not a buck or a liberal social club, though the folks at that DU do carry guns and shoot ducks...
Goat intends to own a chunk of land one day, hopefully bordering NFS or BLA land, and dreams of going "Aldo Leopold" on it while being disconnected from the electric grid. He knows we are much cleaner today than we were thirty years ago under alarms of global cooling and we will be thirty years hence without the socialization of that cause but rather by the free market forces that drive the technology. We don't need a bloated gasbag spewing excess CO2 and methane into the air, Al Gore, and his neo-socialism to save us. The free market will take care of the problem just fine , thank you.
The Goat, well he is going to enjoy all those oxygen spewing trees and plants and keep spouting manure and CO2 so they continue to grow well, hey and paperless press, Dang, who thank of that, was it Al Gore?
