Maine hasn't been really been reforested by humans, the forest just takes over again. At one park where I worked, we were putting in a trail in what was a hay field about five years previously. It was at the old-growth field stage of succession, still lots of grasses, but with woody stuff like raspberries, and saplings from aspens and birches starting to take over. That was in 2000. Ten years later, it was all forest and people who didn't know the area previously have no idea that it was a hay field only 20 years before.

Nicely written. I like the simplicity of shoving a disc or cartridge into a console and being able to (theoretically) run with it, but I started out as a PC gamer back in the days of 5.25" floppies, DOS, and monochrome monitors. I'm trying not to clutter up my laptop with games so that I can use the space for my photos and creative writing. I don't always manage to do that, though.

Absolutely!

Nah, I don't think you're any weirder than most people. You're just more open about it. One of the things I like about you.

I live in Maine - trees are a renewable resource up here. We have more forested land now than we did at the time of the Civil War, and 89% of the tree cover that was present before white Europeans showed up. 

Well, that decided me. I'd been on the fence about picking this up, but I think I'l have to now.

I need to get some income coming in so that I can buy papery things again.

Is it bad that I heard that in their voices?

Haven't played any of the XIII series, so no idea about any of it. I just thought I'd stop by and say hey anyway.

I've been concentrating so hard on photography lately that I just haven't bothered trying to write anything.
