    Give thanks
    Yes you will see me off in the woods
    talking to a tree thanking them for the supplies they offer
    Respect them they treat you well

    Nice sentiment
    On a planet that increasingly resembles one huge Maximum Security prison, the only intelligent choice is to plan a jail break.

    On a similar note, I saw this recently (can't even remember if it was LInkedIn, HeadBook or here!) and thought I'd share it.
