   That looks interesting! 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.

   Negative As all get out -- boring & annoying, & when they're not being    
   negative, & even when they are, so much blatant lying to us!

   I discovered the two-step way to living forever: 1. Don't die.
