What's also interesting to me is that these problems can usually be traced to one (boneheaded?) decision by someone who would otherwise know better, i.e. taking an unmarked fork in trail.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a good read and it goes on the list.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-67680920580364735772008-05-15T06:53:00.000-04:002008-05-15T06:53:00.000-04:00Michael, "The art of wondering" sounds like my kin...Michael, "The art of wondering" sounds like my kind of philosophy, thanks.<BR/><BR/>Ed, I'll look forward to your story.

It reaffirms that we aren't the masters of this Earth.<BR/><BR/>Although I am skilled enough at map reading that I haven't gotten really lost, I have had to rely on those skills to 'find my way back' a couple of times. I'll put that story on my list of things to blog about in the near future.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-78436030470629637902008-05-14T02:46:00.000-04:002008-05-14T02:46:00.000-04:00Sage: I admire you for such a fascinating and uniq...Sage: I admire you for such a fascinating and unique collection of subjects--all of which gives credence to Philosophy being defined as "the art of wondering".
