Ei.. I only regret that I didn't get to take some of you out to the holy places
I know of in the US West.

But as I'm teaching and just didn't have the economic situation to get to
Albuquerque with my old truck... well ISEA was once again as Stephen suggested
-- important, yet exclusive, exclusionary, with attendance pretty much mandating
ones institutional participation. Autonomous and independent folks are priced out...

Anyway, I hope some of you got to smell the sage brush (Artemisia tridentata)
(ask someone local if you haven't yet!) take a small amount of leaves in your
palm, and rub together hard, and breath in. It's especially potent in the
spring, or when there is rain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisia_tridentata

Otherwise, safe travels home, everyone.

Cheers,
John
