that's the best [In reply to] Can't Post

Somewhere in my 40s I gave up backpacking for staying in a nice place and doing long day hikes instead. Nothing like a nice hot tub at the end of a hike - and a meal that doesn't go cold the moment you serve it out.

Since evidence can be adduced and interpreted to corroborate a virtually limitless array of world views, the human challenge is to engage that world view or set of perspectives which brings forth the most valuable, life-enhancing consequences.

I remember that well! [In reply to] Can't Post

We were working in Sydney that year, and found ourselves unable to fly home, thanks to Ruapehu.

A siren went off one morning while we were there last week, and I did briefly wonder if it were the eruption or lahar warning (it was neither, fortunately). One wants to keep clothes, etc, close to hand, just in case.
