Rainy Eclipse Day

Back in the city again. Weird energy today, almost like the air is hard to breathe. It's been raining on and off, and we're supposed to have the solar eclipse later this afternoon.

I miss the mountains - not the mountains themselves, but the fresher air and cleaner water.

I know I'm riding a machine made of rubber and steel and plastic and powered by decomposed ancients. I know none of this is 'natural' in the real sense of that word. But having so much asphalt and concrete and power lines and towers and buildings in my view - I miss the green and blue.

Time to leave the city. It's been that time for a while, now.
