logging is depressing

they cut the spot we found a bunch of morels last year, guess there wasn't much reason to tread lightly or pack out our trash...

hrm, new blog eh, and of course immediately we start the meta dialogue... why am i posting on the internet, no one will read this and if they do they'll notice things about me i'm not really interested in sharing. but fuckit, it's here, lets post.

anyway so trees. i looked into it, and there was a bill introduced last year to make the so called back country areas of morgan monroe and yellowwood not get logged. House Bill No. 1550. but like, the areas were designated in the 80s as no logging, but they were gonna log them anyway? i know next to nothing about policy. anyway, the bill's gone, the logging's on.

living in bloomington i'm surrounded by people who like woods etc, and forget there are good reasons for logging around here. the state is going to maintain the woods, at least do the minimum to keep it from becoming a desert (or development). so unless the demand for wood goes away, industrializing morgan-monroe and yellowwood is maybe even a benefit for the environment if the alternative is

holy shit ok fuck this blogging thing oh god it made me gay, look, now i am gay, thanks a lot blogger [edit: i've regretted making homophobic "jokes" on here for a while, but i'm gonna leave them: gotta live with my shame]

whatever here are some pix i was building towards, cuz b-town is like an island of culture and diversity, but also in an oasis of semi-wilderness area in a desert of farmland and malls
