But it seems like a natural to be on Mastodon!!

Oof, Park City, Utah being evacuated due to a gas leak.
I've always been drawn to the sound of water flowing through a small stream. It's not a roar, not even a forceful murmur, but rather a soft, gentle trickle that is constantly in the background.
Despite its lack of clamor, it attracts my attention, for no other reason than that it is persistent, steady, and calming.
Truth is a bit that way.

"Ah good. At last we've escaped them."
Not that I want to be anti-social, but when I visit beautiful places like Zion National Park in Utah, USA, I like to leave the crowds.
And while it's difficult to do in popular spots (Zion gets some 4-5 million visitors per year), if you find the trails that aren't listed on the visitor brochures, you'll quite often succeed.
