Relaunching the blog for 2010

When I created this thing a couple years ago, I had big expectations, but little in the way of theme or focus, so posts were rare. I've got renewed interest in some of the topics though, so here I go again. What are those topics, you ask?

  • Natural diet and healing - my evolving quest to return to a more traditional diet of natural and organic food and drink, as well as natural alternatives to modern medicine.
  • Simple Living - ideas and experiences in letting go of some of the complexities and trappings of modern life and returning to a simpler, cheaper and more sustainable lifestyle
  • Politics - though not a daily soap box rant about the goings on in Washington, I'll just post comments now and then on conservative libertarianism and the crucial constitutional issues that threaten the American way of life
  • Conservationism - I find the term "enviromentalism" too tied to modern liberal and big government politics, with an accompanying assumption that an evironmentalist also adheres to the other agendas of those philosophies. I'm not here to comment on the related and not-so-related other issues, so I fall back to an older term, Conservationist, in the tradition of John Muir, President (Theodore) Roosevelt, and others. Each of us is a steward of the earth, we don't need overwhelming political crusades to keep our home safe and beautiful.
  • Yellowstone National Park - my home, in a part time real way, and a spiritual way as well. The national parks are truly unique in that once you visit one, you fall in love with the place, and it keeps calling back. I'll post my thoughts on Yellowstone as they come to me.
