Thought I would go through it one more time and toss it out there for the world to see. Hit me while I sat alone on the UC Terrace, a campus location WW and I had ruled with a benevolent iron fist when we should have been working on our thesisses (thesisi? But what about love of place and how that fits into community?

Layin' One Foot Down. Saturday, February 5, 2011. Video Snapshot: Bison on the road. Bison are a regular occurrence along the wintry roads of Yellowstone. If you had a choice of pushing through chest deep snow or walking along a packed path that conveniently leads from one meadow to the next, what would you do? The bison aren't stupid, they'll take the road. Do the bison follow our roads or do our roads follow the natural migration corridors of the bison? The National Parks operate under "natural regulat...

Layin' One Foot Down: John Muir and Yellowstone National Park
http://layinonefootdown.blogspot.com/2011/01/p.html
Layin' One Foot Down. Sunday, January 16, 2011. John Muir and Yellowstone National Park. John Muir had an amazing handle on Yellowstone National Park. I recently read his article for Atlantic Monthly. The air is electric and full of ozone, healing, reviving, exhilarating, kept pure by frost and fire, while the scenery is wild enough to awaken the dead. It is a glorious place to grow in and rest in…. What is the name of the blue flower over there? Are you sure the little bag is aboard? 8221; A long ascent...

Layin' One Foot Down. Saturday, February 5, 2011. General Philip Sheridan: Yellowstone Villain or Hero? This is a quick hit kinda posting.

Our story begins during the Civil War, in which Philip Sheridan was a general for the Union army. He is not looked upon favorably in that part of the country. Professional hunters begin to trespass on tribal lands, and, by ...

Layin' One Foot Down. Wednesday, October 5, 2011. This I Believe: Disaster Movies Make Me Cry (And I'm A Dude). I listen to This I Believe. Here is my This I Believe Essay, "Disaster Movies Make Me Cry (And I'm A Dude).". And at the end of every disaster film, I’m always left disappointed. I always want to see where the people left standing will go next. How will they rebuild towns and cities? How will they fix things? What will they do with the rare opportunity to rebuild human culture?
