The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: "What
good is it?" If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is
good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons,
has built something we like but do not understand, then who but a fool would
discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first
precaution of intelligent tinkering.

Snowshoeing tomorrow in the Red Feather Lakes region- will try to take some photos and share them with you all! Will get to try out my snow boot for the first time, so I hope it's good and cold...
