Utopia
This is my Dystopia/Utopia story for my summer science class.
Jane awoke with a start. Her internal alarm was slowly pulsing the beat from her favorite song. She was a huge history buff, so any music from the early twenty-second century was automatically programmed into her alarm database.
That reminds me, she thought.
“Hey Seven, will you search the 21st century music archives? I know it was mostly lost, but I overheard someone talking yesterday about a dive team that found some old music devices around the Oregon reef.”
“Certainly Jane.”
Jane rose from her bed and unhooked her feeder. She looked down at her skinny fingers and sighed.
“Also, could you put a little more calorie content into my feed mix tonight? “
“Certainly Jane.”
Jane walked over to her shower and pushed the 5-minute button. She undressed and hopped onto the smooth granite flooring. She had saved her meager teacher’s salary for 6 months to be able to afford the beautiful rock shower. She wanted to get a piece before the government bought it up, then turned around and sold it as souvenir necklaces or lucky rocks.
After 4 minutes in the shower, Jane stood still as the flood of air and water quickly rinsed and dried her. She stepped out and put on the clothes Seven had laid out. Jane could never get used to the new material that had replaced all her organic and synthetic clothes. It was almost liquid in texture and very light. After fabrics had become too expensive, she was forced to buy “Lastine.” It was great, and she knew it was not detrimental to the environment, but sometimes she just wanted to throw on an old t-shirt and some jeans.
Jane walked into the front room of her small Chicago apartment and grabbed her computer tablet that stored all her lesson plans and teaching materials.
“Seven, could you download the news into my implant, I would like to get to school early today.” Jane stopped and looked down at her plastic monochromatic shoes. She was not going to miss the off-white and brown hues that made up her wardrobe.
She turned around at the door and sighed. This was her last day as a teacher. This was her last day in this small, modular apartment. This was her last day as a modern human. After her students left for the day, she was going to her Doctor’s office to have her ear, frontal lobe, and spine implants removed. In less than 36 hours she would be on a craft headed for the last remaining hospitable planet in the Cralleone galaxy.
On the “New Earth,” they called it, she would be able to touch real dirt, eat food, and experience countless other sensations that she had only read about in her History tablets. She was going to miss her family and friends, but she wanted to experience life, instead of having it piped into her implants every day, all day.

I found this cache south of Corvallis by
an old mill. It was pretty far up into
the forest off some logging roads.
So fun.
Found this bad boy under the stumpto the left there. Big one.

up the awesomeness that

I am trying to sort through
to find the greats.

Squirrels and Semen
Weird, long, great, squirrel-y day!
My Equine Industries class took a
rode trip to the elusive
Newberg, OR to visit
a Kentucky Derby Winner!
His name is Grindstone
and he is a beautiful stallion.
We also got to witnessthe semen collection routine
of another great stallion
they stand.
He produced over a billion
sperm cells in
one go. We got to look
at it under the microscope.
Awesome.
For the latter half of my day,I helped out at
the wildlife rehab.
I went in to the squirrel
enclosure
and was viciously attacked!
Just kidding...This little guy was
quite friendly.

Trail Extravaganza
This last weekend,
my friend Shauna and
I went to a
trail extravaganza
at the Oregon Horse Center.
I had no idea what to expect,
but it was awesome.
Horse and rider had to navigate
hills and valleys, rocks and timber,
and a 30 foot long pool!
It was so elaborate,
AND THERE WERE MULES!
You can never go wrong with mules.
Man, that is a huge mule.

The riders had to walk around that fake mule,
and it was probably the obstacle most missed.
The horses just didn't like that mule.
Yes, that is a waterfall in the back corner.
This is me with a large boot.
