Morning Commute
On days when I don't catch a ride down to the office with our executive director (Chad), this is what my commute looks like. Well, part of it anyway. We've got a multitude of habitats here.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life... (Thoreau, Walden)
