Don't look at the acres of clear-cut, or you would cry. It's a quick way to make a buck in these times, with very relaxed rules as to replanting. More developments...again, with one main road, north to south. The bottleneck in Purdy seems to begin around 2pm now. More roads, more houses, more people...less trees for breathing.

How long will we look at the future, bent over, with face pointed backwards, or....?<br /><br />It's hard to get places...but they keep on working to make the places, with no seeming cohesive planning. A lot of money seems to go round and round.<br /><br />It will be seventeen years, next month, since Matt, Anna and I came out here. I cannot believe the changes in that time, but I also cannot believe the changes in thinking and planning to keep up with these challenging times of balancing absolutely everything...from inner to outer...and all the pathways between.Lorraine Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116210981761633646noreply@blogger.com
