Some thoughts from the day. Nothing spectacular.

So chill today. Packed a lot, and got nostalgic about the country on Google Street View. As much as one can, anyway. Amazed that the world still doesn't know it exists, and refuses to. Maybe that will change within my lifetime, but this country is so large that I have my doubts

I "miss" the country as well, even though I've never really lived there. But seeing it, when driving by, always makes me wonder what's down that lonely road off the highway. I think I would like to not have the internet for a while. Subsist on books and possibly newspapers, but most importantly nature.

The internet is everywhere, and is basically a necessity no matter how secluded you are, but in those areas it tends to involve fighting with dial-up or satellite connections, so it's never capable of being as consuming or pervasive simply because of the sheer frustration factor of the options that can be gotten -- particularly with the modern internet and its obsession with streaming media/busy ads/automatically-loading content. So the internet, and its use, gets minimized pretty quickly and naturally. Was a web addict before I lived in the country for an extended period of time, and found myself growing away from the 'net quite naturally. Think it helped, at the end of the day.
Being connected is good. Living with physical items is as well, and that's lost really easily these days.
