Thursday, 5 May

Three at the opening bells; 11 to finish the hour.  Politics circled the conversation.  Responses to Francis Moore Lappe's  talk of the night before bounced between us.  A report on a recent excursion through Zion National Park and to Escalante shifted the focus to distant beauty and the wonder of wild places, preserved.  What could we preserve if we did not invest our wealth in destruction?
