I hate wind and dust and sand and have a low tolerance for strangers wanting to interact with me. Burning Man sounds like hell.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The only reason the world doesn't scare me is because I can't make enough sense out of it to be scared. Hope all your people are ok and feel reasonably secure, msbelle.
Now the water kerfuffle I can understand. That's a conundrum. I suggest you all get unfired clay cups you can break after using (so as not to share germs) and recycle into new cups and melt snow to drink.

I am pretty sure if I tried Burning Man I would think it was a lot of goddamn people ruining a perfectly nice trip to the desert. Like most festivals I've been to, really, give or take a desert, but without a compelling draw. I suppose if I was into that sort of art - that's the idea isn't it, art?

Because books.
I'm glad you and Mac are home, msbelle. The world won't stop being frightening and sort of awful.
Pleasantly Cool and Breezy Man, maybe.
Oooh, we should do that. On Buffista Island!

That and a return to tribal community in theory, though I suspect recreational drugs, sex, and the opportunity to run around naked have eclipsed the original goals. (Not that I necessarily think those are bad reasons to hold a festival...)

All of those things (community, drugs, sex and nudity) are unmixy with strangers, in my mind. But I am pretty old, I guess.
Pleasantly Cool and Breezy Man with Buffistas, otoh, sounds excellent.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm with -t entirely on this.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am also with -t. None of those things should happen with strangers. Also with Matt- it should not be that hot. Why would I want to be hot, dirty and naked with strangers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now the water kerfuffle I can understand. That's a conundrum. I suggest you all get unfired clay cups you can break after using (so as not to share germs) and recycle into new cups and melt snow to drink.
Perfect! If only we had caught the snow yesterday before it melted.
Why would I want to be hot, dirty and naked with strangers.
My nightmare.

Also no indoor plumbing or climate control. Fuck that.
