Superior Life Poetry

To jump in chilly waters, just do a few squats

A blog to encourage....
the hearty to  grab a paddle, the awake to look for the moon
over Superior, and the harried to listen to silence...
or, really, just a few updates on The Superior Life, a little book of poems with sketches of some amazing northern places, dear to many hearts.

Easy to ignore, but I can make a difference

I just watched this video on sulfide mining:  http://www.preciouswaters.org/ .  There is already an exploratory drill on Birch Lake?!  The water flows into Birch Lake from the Kawishiwi River and out again as the Kawishiwi River and back into the Boundary Waters?  Sulfuric Acid from sulfide mining lowers the PH in water and kills all living organisms?  How is this happening and why are we tolerating it?  I hope everyone watches.  Then let's start some noise on Facebook and in any other ways we can.  Surely if we can come together en masse around American Idol or Downton Abbey, we can pay it forward by blowing a few whistles about sulfide mining and its consequent ruin of the soul of Minnesota: our wilderness!
