time to disconnect?

I love my devices and digital services, and I love being connected to the global mind hive....but....I am very much aware of the price that is paid: lack of depth, reduced accuracy, lower quality, impatience, selfishness and mental exhaustion, to name only a few. 

In choosing to digitally enhance our lives.....we risk not living them. 



the disconnect is coming…..

 

 

Beautiful night on the Bow River

Today is Earth Day and what better way to acknowledge the day by going for a walk down by the river.
We must remember to protect this resource for future generations. It is already in a precarious position now and we may soon loose this thing of beauty.

Keep Jumbo Wild

As I have said here before ;Developing the Jumbo Wild area is just WRONG!

Having just returned from the area and witnessing the true magnifigance of the area and seeing how catrosphic a development like what is planned will destroy the it forever.

THIS IS WRONG…and no amount of money will make it right, we all must speak out and have this stupidity put to an end. This is not just a local issue, this is an environment issue that will effect us all.

Let the BC government know that this is wrong and that it will not help the local people and that it will only be a VERY expensive playground for the rich Calgarians, who do not contribute to the local economy.
This is not a good enough reason to destroy an area of such environmental significance.

Just my opinion.
