Technology can be quite pleasant.

Oh, sure, go off and live in those hills.  Live off the land.  Become a friend with the flora and fauna.  Zero emission, no trace, and whatever else there is out there to consider.  Me?  Not so much.  And, while if I do happen to figure out how to get out there into the hinterlands, I will use some of that, understand it is to both preserve what is there and to attempt to go unnoticed by any other yahoo out there, not to pretend to be a native.  And, of course, only to the extent that the modern world has given me the means by which to do so and within the borders of sane kempt right living.  Any other way is pure folly.

I slept, long and hard.  Needing to use the facilities once, otherwise I slept for a good... 18 hours was it?  Something.  And, yes, I needed that as much as I needed the cool.  I figure it will take me a week to shift my body and brain back to looking at trying to do anything else.  Who knows, I might feel fit enough sooner, and begin digging in on something, you never know.  I am just putting out the proposition.  I know I am terribly sleep deprived.  I also know heat has a way of beating you into the dirt in ways you simply can't fathom.  I do know that the ac has already helped the way a cool glass of water helps a man dying of thirst in the desert.  I needed it, it wasn't want.  While I can tolerate cold, so long as I can remain inactive, I cannot really deal with heat.  I used to have to, but that was then, this is now.  Let young men go sell their comfort in order to do good things and play with neat toys.  I like being just what and where I am, and it is getting better.

Well, we will see how things progress from here.  But for now, at least for the next two days, I am buttoning up and staying put.  I am enjoying the cool, letting my body and mind repair, and just hanging out.  Period.  Then again, I am not sure I have much choice, but it sounds better when it looks like I am putting my foot down.  Ha.

Later.
