Para Condoritas

Our side trip overnight in the wilds of the land where condors roam. Above are some photos. As you see, i couldn't catch a condor, despite seeing about 30 of them. But within the photos, i tried to capture the condor spirit. If you can figure it out, let me know. What a great bird, though. With their immense wingspan I couldn't count one flap of a wing for the many hours I watched. What hell, ya might as well let the wind just carry you for as long as it can. Who knows when it's gonna stop?

There were some interesting thoughts going around about how the white man can exploit these winged beasts . Yes, i'm sure you already guessed it: WI-FI. These days it's all about WI-FI. And condors are our answer to bringing wireless internet to the remote mountain ranges and desert plains throughout our dying globe (sorry Teddy, but in the new age, it really makes no sense to kill them off for trophies any more). In the far-off distant lands, internet communication makes its way only through myths, or folk tales passed on since the VP days of Al Gore. But not anymore. What if we attach a light-weight titanium solar-powered transistor necklace on the condor as it flies throughout it's vast terrain (over 400 square miles!). People dream about connecting the entire world. Now here's our chance! (Yes, those lonely nights when park ranger Hank has an emergency call and brokeback Bill needs an extra day, all he has to do is email the excuse to his wife back home).
