<p>Mary and I are reading a biography of HD Thoreau and I feel like
I have a better bead on who the heck NST is from getting a
slightly better bead on that aspect of small town New England's
history/perspective. Neither of us have spent more than
glancing careens through New England population centers in our
lives.<br>
</p>
<p>We were on our way to visit a friend on the coast of Maine with
an intention of crashing Nick's front porch party on the way by,
for some egg-salad sandwiches when Mary's back went sideways.
We've been doing urgent care/medical imaging/accupuncture/physical
therapy instead. She's recovering well and may likely avoid
surgery.<br>
</p>
<p>It is just as well with COVID spiking again... we were planning
an Amtrak run supplemented by a rental car and might have been
able to avoid the worst of the gambit ( not so much our own risk,
but the risk of stirring pots best left under-stirred and becoming
vectors ourselves ). <br>
</p>
<p>I read that Amtrak style travel clocks in at 1/2 the carbon
footprint of air-travel... I'm surprised it is not better. In
either case, it doesn't fit well into my aspiration of joining
(spiritually) the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000-watt_society" target="_blank">2000 Watt
Society</a>. The more formidable target of a 500W Society (to
achieve a carbon-neutral humanity with lots of assumptions)
doesn't likely leave any room for long-distance travel unless it
is roughly by-foot (bring back the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_pioneers#Travel_conditions" target="_blank">Mormon
Handcart</a>?) Maybe DaveW can get a friend to haul him into
his favorite hot-spring that way without the noise and erosion and
fumes of an ATV?<br>

<div dir="ltr">I fried my network adapter, so I will have no
network connectivity at least until friday. Possibly, longer if
it turns out to be a software problem. Didn't want anybody to
think I didn't love them. If you need to talk, best to call me
at 413-477-6602. God knows I don't have anything else to do.
