Civilization is Over-Rated

So, instead of a boring play by play of where I went (Ogle County) and what I saw (horses, cows, birds), I just want to say that after today's bike ride, I feel more confident than ever that civilization is over-rated. I far prefer nature to most people (you, the reader, are the exception, of course). Nature also smells better than most people.

For the record--about 13 miles today.
