Okatibbee Lake, December 11, 2008, Twiltley Branch Campground, Collinsville MS
This website has never been fully realized. Ideas for what I want to accomplish with it get half implemented, stuff gets patched, and it never really reaches a point where I'm happy with it. So I spent the weekend trying to make some progress. My new pages on Night Camps are coming together nicely. The Archives have been a real mess and I have some ideas to try there.

The Value of Time
Time is the most valuable and finite commodity that any living thing has. Think about it, everything – you, me, people, plants, animals, even the Earth itself – has a limited and set amount of time. From the moment we come into existence, we begin an inevitable march to a final end. Even the age of our solar system exists in but a minute of time within the context of the history of the universe. The average human lifespan does not even register on that clock. With that said, in many ways, time is the very definition of life itself.
