The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

What a nice day! Inside, that is. I've been decorating my dormroom. I cut out cloud shapes- just the outline (aqua) and left the white walls to fill in the rest of the picture. It's on the long wall. I also have a water-theme going on. I have a mini city skyline, and a garlic clove in a sunset along the 'shoreline'- - and blue waves, and some fish- - - it's got to be an interesting, enjoyable room!
It's still warm out- in the 80s now (was 90s)- but it'll cool off to the 70s over the next few days.
I'm going to my first State Fair ever!! (at least as far as I remember). I'm excited. I have been to a World Fair. My mom was 8 months pregnant with me. I think it counts.
I had a nice talk w/ Aaron this morning (around 5 a.m. here, noon there)- he seems to be doing pretty well. He's been updating his website on his Spain adventures, so he could tell it better than me- check out the 'Aaron's New' link to the left. The main thing we talked about was the importance of others in our lives. It can be easy to try and do things on our own (as if we can!)- but we're made for each other! We're all special, and have things to share and help each other- none of us is very strong on our own- but we can sure do a lot together! Imagine trying to travel to the next town w/ no hepl from anyone. Could you drive there? (build your own car?) could you pack a lunch? (did you grow your own stuff- couldn't go to a store!) is there a road paved? (are you going to pave it?) what else would it take and what kind of effort to do life on your 'own'?

I'd just walk, Erin. And the world would be much better off without all the paved roads and pollution-filled cars blotting out the natural countryside.

I agree that pollution is bad. I also think that friends and even strangers are vital to a healthy life.

While I agree with walking (or public transportation) being the way to go, I think the point Erin was making is that we´re all connected and affected by others and can´t easily go it alone.
This goes both ways, too: in some places it is nearly impossible to walk or take public transportation because of the choices of others around us (city planners, SUV buyers, etc.) We don´t exist in little bubbles and we aren´t the masters of our own destiny. We are all connected and it´s important to understand that if we want to live a meaningful life and make positive changes.
