Who wants to go camping on June 28th? C'mon Now!

Great American Backyard Campout June 28

"Last year over 42,000 people from around the country participated in the Great American Backyard Campout. You don't need to go to Yosemite National Park to experience the great outdoors and the wonders it has to offer. Just open up your backdoor! June has been officially designated Great Outdoors Month by the White House and more than half of America's governors and what better way to celebrate."


Now, instead of just getting all goofy because of going outside and camping, lets think about a personal benefit of joining in with nature -

Scenes of nature trump technology in reducing low-level stress

"The researchers found that participants with the plasma screen actually looked at it just as often as did those who had the window. However, the window held the students' attention significantly longer than the plasma screen did. When participants spent more time looking at the window, their heart rates decreased faster than on tasks when they spent less time looking at the window. This was not true with the plasma screen."


So, again, and seriously - anyone wanna go camping?

Anyone can be struck by lightning,
But not everyone can conduct electricity!
