seems so arrogant. looking back from inside a dome of cypress or under a mangrove or alongside a manatee, all that mastery by the determined hand of man stuff just seems ridiculous and cruel, unthinkable that well-meaning folks would destroy a one of a kind system of life thousands of years in the making, but then they didn t even know because back then there just weren t enough guys like mac stone. so you re telling me that most folks when they visit the glades for first time, they don t know what to do. yeah. it s true. you can tell by the way people park their cars. am i allowed to step in the water? is it safe to go into the grasses? me, the best thing is just park your car. it s a national park. and see what you can find. yeah, but you re strange.
