I have survived weeks off the land, with nothing, no        tools -- only the clothes on my back. I'd head into the woods, hiking around,        up & down mountains, just enjoying the natural phytochemical antidepressants        the trees emit! Went in with no food, no guides, no compass -- just bopped        around until bored, then popped out exactly where I wanted to, relativero my        entry point (no trailblazing or marking my paths, either; just stubbornness &        dead reckoning); Fun -- I miss this.              > Good old z-lib. I like that project.              Me, too -- I'm completely sold on it -- get all my books via there now! All       the ones my library couldn't locate within the free interlibrary network in       BBC, I've found! Getting back into a couple series & knowing I wont be       missing anything now.              > There was a modest storm that blew passed this area last week.       > The local repeater for one particular OTA TV channel went out       > for a whole week.
