and a walking we will go....

We spent an afternoon walking the campus trail. It wasn't too bad... for some reason it reminded of the song "Waltzing Matilda". The song is Australian and there is little reason for it to remind me, but it does so....

FGCU was built on what many consider endangered habitat. I'm inclined to believe that a lot of its sustainability efforts are a type of penance for the destruction its creation caused. However, you could almost say building anywhere comes with its dangers.

Constructing buildings is a violent process, but a part of how we relate to the world. FGCU does what they can to minimize the impact. Sustainability isn't about zero impact. It's about impacts that allow for a future and with my limited knowledge it seems like we do okay.

The trail was okay until the end. As I was walking to my car, I brushed my arm along my purse. It was at this point that the inspiration for the blogs name occurred. A mutant ant had decided to hitch hike on my purse. It bit me. Not a small, annoying, this will itch kind of a bite. No it made me bleed. Yeah MUTANT ant.

I tweeted about the mutant ant and my followers came up with there own version of spider man, but with ants....
