I walked over Ochomogo Pass

Yesterday I walked over Ochomogo Pass. Which might not make much sense with explanation.
The Ochomogo Pass is the main pass over the continental divide in Costa Rica, between the Pacific and Atlantic sides of the country. And if this sounds like a romantic mountain journey---well, there is actually just a big freeway that goes over the pass, and it is loud and probably a dumb thing to do to walk along the side of the freeway for an hour just to have bragging rights that I've walked over the pass.
But that is what I did with my Friday.
And now it is Saturday, and I am somewhat tired after all that exertion!

Also, my new rule of the internet:

"Does this content or interaction in anyway contribute to a real sense of community?"

Basically, I realized that some internet interactions, however tenuously, are related to a real sense of community. That doesn't mean the community ever has to happen in the real world (although many times it can lead to that), but that the content or interaction or whatever will somehow foster or develop a real sense of shared values or interests. As opposed to being just stimulation meant to get people through 5 more minutes, even if that is by making them feel enraged.

That is one reason I signed off of Facebook a few weeks ago, and have been posting here. I think, however indirectly it might be, that this place does have a real sense of community.
