“Get a Daily Dose of Green Space - The New York Times - http://nyti.ms/fXlhww”Dry is good too. My plan was to get up one of the lesser canyons and play among the rocks. Water, rocks, sun, privacy, limited if any radio contact. No cell service, no broadband, no telephone. CB might work.Radio to 50 mhz would probably work but I am not licensed.A galley kitchen, a double bed and reading lights.

David Cay Johnston has a terrific piece up about the nonsense of comparing government workers to private-sector counterparts by claiming that the government pays for more of their benefits. As he says, . . .
