Zitat des Tages von Michael Frome:
When people performing on the public's behalf feel intimidated, it's a sorry affair.
There are too many people coming to parks doing the wrong things. They treat the parks like popcorn playgrounds. They don't understand what the national parks mean.
National parks are cathedrals of spirituality and emotion, and unfortunately, they are being loved to death by many of the same people who enjoy them the most.
Women are especially sensible in matters relating to tipping: fair but not foolish.

Don't plan to drive more than 300 miles a day.

The parks are our national treasures, and they must be shown more respect, not only by visitors but also the people who run them.
We get the politicians we deserve and the environment we deserve.
You don't have to tip anybody, anywhere, anything. You do so only because you want to, in appreciation for service well-rendered.
If you're going away, be sure to cancel the paper, the milk, and the laundry pickup. Remove the fresh stuff from the ice box, lock the windows and doors, and phone the cops and tell them how long you'll be gone so they'll keep an eye out for burglars.

In the separation of the human species from nature, life goes awry.
Yosemite Valley is like a tourist zoo. It's shameful.
If you speed up your trip, you'll miss a lot of interesting sights and also wear yourself to a frazzle.
I think all of this jogging and everything else shows the people want to be masters of their own bodies and environment.
One of the most unusual shuttles operates at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historic Site in Texas, carrying visitors on a one and one-half hour trip past Johnson's birthplace, the family cemetery and ranch house, and through the ranch.
