Commercial success sucks!

I walk along a narrow sandy trail between the Hall’s cemetery fence and the great pit below Me not believing that they could expand this quarry to the very edge of this burial ground The place where our ancestors and families carved the land into farms that lay in rest now This is sacred ground I say to myself as I vainly look around for a broken skull or crossbone For there is danger here for what is and has been done to this sacred land of our ancestors Their bare bone monuments remain within a couple of meters of the yawning sand pit hole What about the many too poor to afford a tombstone and lay scattered in the cheap seats? I whisper angrily to the wind if not for the decency of protecting the important spring aquifer Then at least stop the digging and reclaim the land for respect of the dead who rest in peace Ominous signs of a time when commercial success is put ahead of respect for life and death

Cell towers and radiation

I have my own little story about cell phone towers. When I moved to this paradise I could see the blinking red light of the Mt. Cascades cell phone tower. Now 22 years later, I've noticed the trees on the mountain ~10 kms away have grown enough to obscure the view from my window. Maybe I'm losing my signal too but I don't need it because I have little interest or need for a cell phone. But what do I see one night from my deck over the river? A new cell tower suddenly sprouted like a mushroom over night. I wonder how long it will take for this one to be overtaken by the trees that are now allowed to grow tall and free? The question is more likely, how many more towers will we see out here as the city sky congestion moves it's way up here. So the latest debate out here is the proliferation of these towers, dotting the cup-caked hills of the Gatineaus, this is the letter or rant of the day, that somehow, managed to remain anonymous in the Wakefield News.
