I want to know why I have no acorns on my deck this fall. None. Not one. And I'm not alone. Concerning helmets, kayaking and kids I took a friends 10 year old son out for a little surf training. He was full throttle ready to go until I put on my helmet and handed him his. He told me quietly helmets were stupid. He's a good kid. I quietly told him firemen and army guys wear helmets. He looked a bit glum and let me snap the neck strap closed. I set him up to surf in a small wave but he ended up broaching and flipped right on his head. I asked him about that helmet. He got the point. We tend to learn best through hands on experience. Our carbon footprints may teach us some hands on experience. It may teach the next one hundred generations a lot of hands on experience.
