THE ELEMENTS (July 28, 2000)
Driving rain. Cooped up in a mountain hut, I hurt all over from too much sun I got yesterday. I am a bit feverish, too. The cold wind and fog out there feel almost soothing from this cozy shelter. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny again, and my sunburn is likely to become deeper, more painful. The elements. Back to the silly problems of our forebears.
