Those Blue Mountains are gorgeous! I almost picked up some of that the other day. Now I'm thinking I really should have!

Of course, that Burro Creek is brecciated, so it automatically qualifies as amazing!

The Blue Mountains are fabulous! The Burro Creek is yummy, too. (drool)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
