Sad Contrast

Last month I hiked alone for 275 miles in a foreign country. I could have done 500 (with a little more time) - still alone. In the dark of night and height of day.

Yesterday I went grocery shopping. At the entry way to the store was an armed security guard (we aren't talking just during a Loomis visit either). I'm not in New York City or Chicago or LA. I'm in Happy Valley, Utah.

Sigh
