A squirrel drinks water from a volcano-shaped ice formation in a frozen pond.

It's a dry January in southern Wisconsin - and not that kind of "dry."

Day One seems to have lived up to my worst fears.

In 24 hours America was lost. Our moral standing, our integrity, our honor, our trust - all lost. Probably never to be regained.

We are no longer the good guys - maybe haven't been for a while - but now there's no debate.

Each week, my mom and I spend the evening together. She's 86. We have dinner, talk, and watch TV. Recently, during a commercial:

Mom: Why do they have to use carrots?
Me: Would you prefer - a banana?
Mom: Laughs. But I like carrots. I don’t want to have to think about that when I'm eating a carrot.

Decaying tree in a section of Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada.

I have become preoccupied with old-growth forests. I’ve always felt a deep connection to forests and the woods. I’m fairly certain I could live in the woods and I might list myself as a Druid — except for the human sacrifice part.
