Tugged by the opposing desires to savor each vignette, but keen to indulge on the next.
What a joy to have this voice to cherish.

I'd like to get an inflatable 8' Studio Ghibli costume and patrol the Sierra Nevada backcountry, 15 miles from any trailhead, as the enigmatic figure "No Trace."
I'll approach people making inappropriate camps, or piling unneeded cairns—point at them reproachfully—and go "eh... ehhh!"
Then vanish.
