A little long, but interesting reading.

Interesting reference:

"... a seminal study from the University of Michigan that showed people can better learn after walking in the woods than after walking a busy street."

Nice!

Might explain why I enjoyed studying on Bare Mt. when I was at UMass. Or it could of been that I stopped at the Old Amherst Alehouse on the way back to town.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." - Henry David Thoreau

Indeed, and that from way back when! The more things change, the more they stay the same!
