Here's an article about technology and nature.  Too bad they didn't study us, huh?

These folks, being scientists, are concerned about ways of measuring brain effects that occur when you remove technology and put yourself in a non-urban environment.  They replace their normal, quotidien activities with rowing.  Imagine if the results they'd find if they could replaced them with the activities we did this past week:  barn cleaning, speaking Shakespeare's words, dancing and moving to his words, singing together, caring for one another, listening to one another, seeing deer, preparing for the great gift we gave our audience of friends, and so on.  Their poor little CAT scans would evidence colors of a rainbow only seen by moon and starlight.
 
Missing you all so much already,
