Nasal Cleansing


I was wondering why I live in America and can't buy penicillin if I have a sinus infection. Why can I buy cigarettes and gasoline and poison, but not penicillin?
That doesn't seem like freedom.
To ease my frustration in my American prison I started practicing yoga. Neti is a form of yoga where you pour warm salt water in one nostril and it comes out the other. It's kind of gross, but at least I can breath.

Living in a Sustainable Destination


My neighbor Donna showed me this nice place by a lake. Kids go there. You have to watch for broken glass, beer bottles. It is along the road, a back road.


By the lake, beneath the tall tall trees, next to a swampy place referred to as "the bathroom," there was a stone fire pit. At the center of it smoldered a pillow.

Most Reverand and Efficient


Public consciousness has made environmentalism a moral issue. The Rev. Perry rides a scooter. He sets a good example as a community leader and a modern conservationist.
