Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Elk Zone - 5/29

Our daily skirmishes against the endless hordes of Knapweed and Sericea have brought us to Highway 21 a.k.a. Blood Alley.  The nickname comes from the high number of crashes that occur on the road due to all of the blind turns and hilly terrain.  Needless to say we have to be on an even higher alert than normal… if that is even possible (we’re on the verge of becoming psychics).  Anyways, aside from the danger level climbing ever higher, our task remains: seek and destroy the invasives. 

On a completely different note, I just read an article that was written by Kyle Hilliard titled, “Dreaming of Video Games.”  I would suggest reading the piece if you can find it, but the gist of it is that playing video games empowers your subconscious.  People who play video games tend to have more lucid dreams or dreams where they can control the outcome.  Kyle also noted that this can result in fewer nightmares—or at least, gamers don’t perceive the dreams as nightmares like others would because they can alter the content as they see fit.  The article vaguely reminds me of Inception where the characters can train their minds against invasion.  Anyhow, fascinating stuff; I cannot say how extensive the research has been, but I always love hearing that some people don’t think video games are the bane of our society. 


Good night friends.  Until next time!
