Good Day

Well it's Wednesday, the day before thanksgiving, and it finally snowed a bit. It seems the fire we burned this past Sunday is beginning to deliver it's payload. Mother nature is on our side. Even when she tornados, hurricanes, or droughts us to death.

Aspen is beautiful all times of year, and even though we don't have much snow, we still have this valley to be thankful for.

I missed a post yesterday, and life is a series of ups and downs, which could never exist without each other. Now it's the day after thanksgiving, and I still haven't posted anything. But here I am. Waiting for you.

The stress of getting YJS operations up and running is quite severe, but I seem to be on an inspired mission to offer recycled clothing and ideas to the people. Why not start with a store in Aspen, where the greedheads are trying to steal this valley from real people, as they have been stealing all the best of everything from us for thousands of years?

These people think they are entitled to more than their share. There is no room for mansions in this valley. They should all be bought up by the city, subdivided, totally greened, and turned into employee housing. Cheap to rent or purchase. The rents around here need to go down, so that not everything for sale is unaffordable to the people who work here. People shouldn't be allowed to be rich enough to afford a home that could house 10 families in addition to their own. You people are welcome to come visit us, but stay in our hotels, spend your money, and then go home, don't leave your disgusting, energy sucking mansions behind to remind us how much we miss you when you're gone. We need a town ban on exclusivity and the cult of holier than thou. We have the potential for a real community here. Aspen is our home, this community of people is our tribe. These mountains are our holy land. It is time for us to put a stop to people tearing up this land with a criminal negligence right out of the Bible. I think it might have something to do with this outdated, false idea that we were created by God. But hold on a minute, we were actually created by our upbringing, the culture we are raised in, the people around us, our parents, our friends and teachers. Does anyone ever wonder why we have all been entitling ourselves to this terribly idiotic behavior?

It's because we have been trained to do so. It is time for us to do something different. That's all. Itistime!!!
