Life on the Edge

In the vein of avoiding work, I just read a 1996 Outside article about a truly amazing (in both the positive and negative sense) man in the Eastern Andes of Peru. Excerpt:

Don Benigno Añazco carved his way 36 years deep into the green heart of the Andean forest, founded 14 settlements, abandoned his wife and many children, married his daughter, slew his son-in-law, fought drug peddlers, tamed the wilderness, and reclaimed, as best he could, the Inca Empire. And now I was going to find him.

Lesson #2: don’t mess with Kate Wheeler.
Lesson #3: special characters like á, ó, ñ, and ü sometimes don’t age well in the www environment.
