cancellation trip

On Monday, with the Labor Day upon us and all, I headed to Maine. We normally have a cabrewing (canoe + beer) adventure that lasts a couple of days, but this year everybody was just too busy. Still, I got a chance to get on the river, and also check out the deck that Jeff is building. That's probably why I end up going every year - to get a taste of life that's so different from mine. Folks in Maine are self-reliant by definition: you have to be if you're surrounded by forest on all sides. I caught myself thinking, how would Maine react if it was hit by Katrina? My guess: "F it, man. Let's finish this joint, and fix up this bad boy."
