Notes on living in the north woods, sailing an inland sea, and a few things worth considering.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

The Forgotten Celebrity
I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day. There was a
large lady in front of me with curlers and a cart full of processed
food. I felt sorry for her ankles. So I had time to glance at all the
magazines they place at impulse level. It's all about celebrities these
days. Celebrities are people that are famous. I'm not certain what
the criteria are for fame, I mean the numbers. How many people have to
know you're alive to be considered famous? Are all famous people also
celebrities? Probably not, I think celebrity is limited to
entertainment, mostly. Anyway I really don't care. What I care about
is Bigfoot. Before it became legal to write about entertainers gaining
weight or getting pregnant, the National Inquirer and others would
publish information about Bigfoot. They not only listed sightings and
encounters, but included personal information as well, such as the time
Bigfoot gave birth to an alien child. I really miss those articles.
Not only were they interesting, but they kept the public informed on
current locations and behaviors of Bigfoot. Now I never know when, or
where Bigfoot will appear, or how he will act. I don't have anything
against celebrities, I just think it was thoughtless and insensitive to
abandon Bigfoot like he was nothing but a fantasy. It's just wrong.
