Return to Summer

Summer has returned. Actually, summer, for all practical purposes in my life, returned a few weeks ago when I left campus...around May 5th or so. In the past few years, that has meant I hop in the car and take a little road trip.

So, it should come as no surprise that I took the very direct route from New Jersey to Kansas and went through Canada. Very direct. Yeah.

But now I am in Kansas City, where I will be for the summer. I don't want to get into too much, but I do want to pause to show a picture from a canoe trip I went on soon after getting into town. You know, when you take a week to drive around, and then work for a week, it's about time to take a vacation. So I did.

We went down to southern Missouri, to Eleven Point River, which meanders in and out of the Mark Twain Wilderness. A trip well worth the time when you are looking to do some canoeing and some relaxing for a few days.

Another Reason Large Business Sucks

So, I'm not saying it is going to happen. But it sounds like it could. And I don't have enough faith in the government to think it will see past large corporate interest (or be pushed around by corporate interest groups) that may not be good for the public or for small business interests.

So read what might happen to the internet in the very near future....
