Wow, the silence is deafening...

I'll take a spin at the "Quote of the Week". This one is truly inspiring and sure to warm the cockles of tree hugging hippy hearts.

Kathleen Meyer, How to Shit in the Woods:

"People - corporate lawyers, philandering spouses, presidential candidates -
always want to know how to bury their shit. This chapter spells out
precisely where and how to dig holes that promote rapid decomposition of feces
and prevent contamination of waterways, thereby providing the best protection
for the health of humans, the remainder of the animal kingdom, and the
planet. Before we can hope to fathom how great is the importance of
properly digging our own small on-sit hole (also termed cat hold) in the bush,
it's necessary to try to envision our shit in the global sense. Try is the
trick here.

Exactly where does the world's collective excrement go? Not a pleasant question. How often do any of us think about where it goes after it's sucked down the hold at the bottom of the bowl? Possibly never. Such reflections tend to detour our
consciousness, barring those rare occasions when we have to call Roto-Rooter.

Approached from any angle, the actual physical dimensions of this pile of yuck produced upon our globe befuddle imagining."
