2 Million Acres
The House of Representatives signed legislation yesterday designating 2 million U.S. acres to be wild, including 250,000 acres in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park.
A wilderness designation effectively requires that the land remain undisturbed by development of any kind.
Isle Royale
If living and working on a remote roadless island surrounded by the largest freshwater lake in the world appeals to you, consider a position with Isle Royale, a maritime wilderness National Park.
Sunday Project
Kalen and I collaborated on a backpack yesterday. She did the stitching, I did the worrying. Turned out real real fine.
Red and beige canvas, some beige thread, padding from an old backpack, and a belt buckle. Go 49ers.

Help Our Wolves Live
Since I bought this army jacket at a thrift store in Brooklyn, I’ve gotten numerous comments from strangers around town about the HELP OUR WOLVES LIVE (HOWL) patch that was already sewn on the left breast pocket. My favorite was last night on the 6 train, when a woman came up to me and started raising her voice about Sarah Palin’s insatiable love for the smell of wolf blood.
Woman: “I bet she falls asleep counting dead wolves instead of sheep.”
Me: “Yup.”
