EDITORIAL CARTOON (ANTI)SOCIAL COLUMN www INTROVERTS ANONYMOUS Into the Mystic

By Ric Sanchez

First grade was hell. I refused to go. Spending six hours a day with people I wasn’t related to terrified me. I didn’t know how to articulate it at the time, but I now know that what I felt was anxiety. Every day, every morning, all the time, for no reason, I felt an anxiety that wouldn’t dis- sipate until summer break, when my family took its annual trip to Lake Tahoe, Calif. Trees upon trees, our car wound its way up the mountain, silent, save for the same damn Van Morrison CD my parents had forever (for all I know, it came with the car). That was my solace. I was at peace. A few weeks ago, the Kaimin staff drove to Spokane, Wash., for a collegiate journalism conference. While I enjoyed the sights of Spokane (arguably the Paris of eastern Washington), nothing beats that stretch of I-90 from Fourth of July Pass through Coeur D’Alene. Earbuds in, head leaning on the window, I watched our stretch of highway transform into a corridor of mountains and trees before open- ing up to beautiful Lake Coeur D’Alene. With Astral Weeks as my soundtrack, I cleared my mind of all worry and pondered everything from God to the Oxford comma (as one usually begets the other). It was then that I knew I had made the right choice settling in the Northwest- ern Rockies and wondered how anyone could want to live anywhere else. I was at peace. U Then someone hit my shoulder. “Were you listening? Oh my God, you didn’t hear anything I just P BACK said.” It was then that I remembered I was in a car with four other people.

There would also be events at the house — including an open campfire lecture series where guest speakers share their experiences and adventures. “The outdoors are such a huge part of the UM culture,” Lapointe said. “I just thought there was a need for this house.” Lapointe said the school’s addition would be in time for the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Pact, which has helped preserve wilderness. As Missoula celebrates, Lapointe said, the house would make use of the side effects from the act.
