I saw that on a bumper sticker on the back of a pick up truck that was parked in front of my house today…. along with a Greatful Dead sticker. If I’m going to be in Kansas, I’m glad I’m in Lawrence.

I’ve been back in town for a few shin-splinty days after a trip to Colorado. The last full day I was there I took a ten mile hike. Five miles up and five miles down. It was AWESOME. The aspen trees alone were well worth it. Halfway up, we stopped at a waterfall to eat lunch. I managed to find a little crevice where a tree was determined enough to grow and settled in. I leaned back between tree root and rock wall, put a shoe under my head, pulled my roommate’s floppy brimmed hat over my face, and dozed under a tree, next to a waterfall, on the side of a mountain. It was bliss for twenty minutes. And then resume hiking…..
