Much as I enjoy visiting things like national parks and such I do always feel a little weird about how I might be negatively impacting a place by visiting it. Not that I expect to cause floods and casualties, of course...again. = )

Very cute- this really made me smile. There's an underlying truth in what's being said, but how he says it really got me.
