Considering the mountain of issues surrounding the production of our sacred fossil fuel I somehow don't feel that great about it. What is costs in environmental and social damage doesn't seem worth it. I usually blow these feelings off but now that the pipelines are back on the governments twisted radar screens I can't help but feel I'm contributing to the problem. Seems a self launching glider would be a better friend of the earth... maybe I think this way too because I have spent so many years living near the Dine and Pueblo peoples... I know they have opened my eyes to what really matters... and it's clean water and not a river of sludge...

Feel like selling all my plans and building a glider. Too much dark news these days, affecting my moods.
