On the drive to the farm we pass a few usual sights. The cow, fence, cow, "OO OO BARN," cow, fence, cow ruetine. The little chapel. The field with random trenches that thousands of stories have been told from. The yard that you have to wonder if another car could ever fit in. The amazing shake stop where ALL the locals hang out at night. Then the hill down to the gravel road up to the farm.

Dear Smoker,
This is a letter to kindly request that you discontinue blowing smoke in my face. If necessary, perhaps you could stand or walk downwind from me. I do not mean to offend you, but as you might have heard, smoking is very hazardous to the health. I do not wish to be subjected to your second hand smoke.
It seems to me that many people are not concerned with the effect of pollution to our Earth's environment because they are not concerned with the future (that they will not be around for). It worries me when I think about how much waste we produce and how much we pollute everyday. I'm not only worried for those of us living now, but for the kids I may have and their families.
I really need to stop reading the news. I was perusing an article on cnn.com about the amount of prescription medication in our drinking water and became ill. No, seriously my stomach started hurting.
Hello, everyone! For those of you who haven't heard of ANWR, it's the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Located up in Alaska, the Refuge is a very large reservation with a very beautiful and biologically diverse landscape that is home to hundreds upon hundreds of endangered arctic species that the Alaskans are trying to save. ANWR also happens to be the topic of an essay I am doing as of late, and so I thought I would spread the issues out here for people to read and respond to.
I wish for one night to turn off all the city lights and stare into an open sky. The nights will go on longer and the memories will last forever.
That is something I wrote a few years ago, but still love to this day.
