"There are no subways in the Maine woods!"

No wonder it takes so long to get anywhere on a hike! And there are no ads to read! :)

Frankly, I get lonesome if I do not see a sidwalk every once in awhile. I love nature, but there is something about human nature and what we've created that can be equally stimulating. The big cities are not to be feared, you can find problems anywhere in the world.

There is another story today of how two men saved a three year old who fell four stories from a fire escape. The toddler hit a few trees and two men who managed to see the boy just as he was falling ran across the street and caught him.

People can joke about our streets and subways as well as the hustle and bustle, but you can't find better people then you can in the heart of a big city.
