Frazz by Jef Mallett for December 03, 2021

“If you go out in the woods today…”

I love solo walks in the woods. But it’s more fun if you can share. Including the times when one of you stops while the other walks on so you can both experience the solitude.

I always did exactly that as a kid. I loved being in the woods.

Someone could supply a parking lot over them.

Kid is smart. She turned off the slab first. Even then one is never alone but at least one has quiet.

Some of the best things in life are free.

[Some of our freedoms come at great cost.]

Are those the Bill Bryson woods?

A little Forest Bathing—shinrin-yoku. I see a nemophilist in the making, if she isn’t one already.

Give you the sense the future is in good hands.

“And I want to come back to a warm home when I’m done.” DARN! Supply chain again!

And take the road less travelled.

Frazz likes solitude in the woods too. On his carbon fibre mountain bike. While wearing state of the art riding gear. Listening to Lyle Lovett on his wireless earbuds.

Down with consumerism!!!!

This is a smart kid

“I want to go for a walk in the woods.”

Been there. Done that. As often as possible.

Great idea, girl!

Church!

“The woods are lovely, dark, and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go, before I sleep.”

Into the woodsand out of the woods And home before DARK!

Ah, I could go for a walk in the woods. Memories…

Bill Bryson wrote A Walk in The Woods,. Pretty great book too.
