The Inukshuk, stone faced sentinel of the arctic circle. The Inuit and other northern tribes used it to do the job of a man–to mark out trails or determine boundaries. If they ever learn to drive, modern man is in big trouble. As a man myself, I take comfort knowing that they probably won‘t, and even if they did, they wouldn’t stop to ask for directions either (though maybe they already know the way).
May your holiday season be as festive and rock solid as my new friend below. I’ll be in Portland, OR for the rest of the week soaking up the rain–literally. It will be a change from the desert for sure. We’ll see if I can get a little exposure to nature in between droplets. I hope you get some nature time in too.–R
