I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
Henry David Thoreau
I am going to the woods today.
This is a big thing for me as I do not like to be this far away from Target or my computer.
The cell phones do not work once we hit the camp road yet people live here year round through the Adirondack - Canadian border winter.
Other things work and technology has snowshoed its way in. I know that a few of the residents use skype to keep in touch during the long winter here (have you seen the movie "Frozen River"? This is that place!
So, Miss Fancy Nancy Librarian, I am looking forward to a skype lesson so that I can keep in touch with the very nice people that I have met here.
Maybe I can concentrate on the "essential facts of life" this weekend and shoot off a few firecrackers.
Happy, Happy Independence Day to all of us!
P.S. I will miss Tim singing "God Bless America" on CMT this weekend.
Bummer!
