The National Recreation and Parks Association has selected the Pennsylvania state park system as the premier state park system in the U.S. The award is ironic, in that DCNR just escaped the legislative budgeting process (100 days late) with an almost 20% decrease in funding. There is speculation that a number of state parks will be forced to close. Isn’t it interesting how legislatures always seem to pick exactly the wrong programs to attack at exactly the wrong time?

I am at the end of a four-week travel spree, and I am weary. What happened to the energy of my youth? I believe that the frenetic electricity that characterizes youth dissipates back to the universe from whence it came. I can’t imagine staying awake past midnight. In college, all-nighters were de rigueur.
This week I am in Pittsburgh, working for a couple of days with the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) and my good friends Davitt Woodwell and Jack Ubinger. Last week I stopped by Chicago between projects in Indiana (Beyond the Beach Discovery Trail) and Hackmatack (northwestern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin). The week before I parked in Harrisburg, and the week before that in Philadelphia.
