Privilege: What I have been doing on my summer vacation

Lovely, eloquent, informative, encouraging, decent masculine tone -- emphasize job creation -- show some vigorous females, seniors, teens -- maybe get a college media department to set up a class project to made a YouTube documentary -- Voltaire wrote at the end of "Candide": Tend your garden... I've been tending a little wetlands in back of my urban Santa Fe quarter-acre, a four foot wide sporadic ditch (acequia) during summer monsoon rains has a 3-ft high waterfall over an old stone dam, beside two 4-foot wide Siberian Elms, where I sit in a comfortable padded lawn chair in the shade, looking down the water at the peak (gently geoablated into a wide dome) of Santa Fe Baldy 18 miles away between trees -- letting plants grow, evolving paths that slope sideways down the 10-foot drop from our yard -- seen snakes, turtles, skunks, cats, dog, birds, hummingbirds -- moving sand and clay that collects in the ditch to shape the slopes and make terraces for iris... Thanks
