Scheduled Posting & Camping West Virginia
Another benefit I have recently discovered to moving my blog – I can now do scheduled posting. I’m not 100% sure I couldn’t do that with Blogger but I am 100% sure I couldn’t figure out how.
The last post to this blog was done with scheduled posting. I actually wrote that post when I wasn’t supposed to be thinking about the blogs. And now here I am giving my dirty little obsession away. If I have something to say and I intend to say it with conviction then I need to get it on paper before the conviction is lost. Some may think I could accomplish the same thing with a draft post. It’s a little different for me. If I have drafted a post and scheduled it for posting then I have committed to the post. If I just draft a post then I may post it and I may not. Most of the time, I have to go through and clean out all of my draft posts. (6 from yesterdays blog cleaning)
At any rate – in the future maybe you will see more of what I have decided not to say.

On another note – I’m dusting off the camping and hiking gear. If the thunderstorms predicted for Wednesday miss us – I’m headed to the hills for a couple of days. It is just coming into the camping season with night-time temps still chilly but finally starting to nudge upwards. I wait the entire winter for right now.
This year it is even more welcome because I have found that battling ignorance takes quite a lot out of a person – mentally and physically (not necessarily referring to the blog). So for a few days I’m going to visit the mountains and some folks that live closer to the heart of West Virginia’s backwoods than I.

Lately I’ve been perceived as running out of patience – which means my approach to mountaintop removal coal mining is wrong. Even though I am startled every day by an explosion and those very explosions trigger posts like the last one – I can’t be perceived as running out of patience. Believe me, it is not running out of patience it is urgency. Regardless of what you think of me or what I write – the (renewable) energy issue is an issue and it does need rectified. Solving the energy issue will automatically solve a lot of other issues – including mountaintop removal coal mining.

See what I mean – I have a thinkin’ problem. I’m going back to my roots for a few days. I’m quite sure the battle will go on without me.
Adding – if you link to the old blog please update your links.
Have run camping. Sometimes just being away from your normal routine for a few days can give you a new perspective on things. Or, at the very least, release some stress.
It’s the stress thing I plan to leave in the mountains. It can get really hard to maintain any kind of logical perspective. For me the mountains are therapeutic. At least that is what I use them for.
