Vancouver

Sailing over the Rocky Mountains, we looked down on some of the same places that Claire staked out as a child; mountains now with trees shaved off in chemotherapy clumps. Clear-cutting is scientifically-proven to be good for the environment; at least according to those people who wouldn't profit otherwise. As you reach Vancouver, the buildings, roads and factories proliferate greatly. It's hard not to be gloomy. If mankind is a pox on the earth, it's hard to believe it's not yet fatal.
