love this blog deal...so much to say, so little space...and here you are, you've never met me, don't know who i am, or what's up...so here's to ya. one cool thing you'll notice, and i've been into geography all my life, is, you can be anywhere at once. and that doesn't make geography meaningless, on the contrary, it makes it more important than ever. you, for example, are right here now, right? and i may be long gone. but i was here too, and will be again, but that may be days later, right? and that will be a new here. stunning, huh? so i'm a little dazed by it all, but hey, i'll adjust...
