To get this thread away from the political fabrications and a possible lock from the Sheriff. Back to the OP's thoughts and possible solutions to his dilemma.

How many of you get out on the trail/camp, outdoors etc on a regular basis to recharge the batteries (so to speak ) in order not to let civilized life get you down? I find regular outings allow me to cope through the workaday drudgery much better when I know that a hike is in the plans on the weekend.
