It's been a while, like spilled air and the smell of blown-out candles. I'm refining this blog with my feet sitting in a bath of rock salt, hot water, and blackberry face wash. This is not standard solution for foot baths, but it works for me. Here's a picture I found made me forget about global warming for a few minutes. My parents use to worry about things like communism. I worry about why mammals are migrating northward because it is too warm to mate or nest in their normal habitat. I say "Don't mess with the thermostat!"
