Greeting a New Day, Canada Geese, Dugway Ramp Recreation Area, Sinclair WY, May 1, 2011
Cold
Geeze it's cold - 10 degrees or so at dawn - but with a bright sunny sky emerging. And, a nice surprise, three American White Pelicans sleeping on the riverbank.

Met a local today who said it the weather is shaping up to become a repeat of last year - a cold spring followed by a sudden warmup and flooding when the heavy mountain snowpack melts.

Tools for Communicating
There is no one who can know everything anymore, because there is simply too much information for one lifetime. In the gaps, our tools grow (I choose the organic term carefully), and they allow people to unite and divide movements, to undermine leaders, to elect the unwilling to roles of leadership into which they might grow. No single person can dominate in this world for very long these days, because our tools for communicating link us like ants and we can move the world while undemocratic leaders try to hold it still. People peck the man on the big horse to death like hungry ducks if he leads them down the wrong path or takes too many liberties on the journey.
