Thanks, Dennis, for the reference to the Ascend story. It's a classic example of how losing faith can lead one astray. I am reminded of the fact that we're probably 35 days into our 40 days in the desert, and that the lush oasis awaiting the end of this trek is what brought us to the thirst we now suffer. The first person who tried 40 days in such a wilderness also, I'm certain, suffered some doubt...but survived. Sir Edmund Hillary on Everest, and his son, Peter, in Antarctica (http://www.iridium-icetrek.org) surely also had their doubts, but went on to triumph over adversity.
A bit philosophical, I admit, but in keeping with yesterday's post. To return to reality, however, I need only keep in mind the fact that there are those who project $200 for Iridium in a few years. It is, after all, the only phone company that allows one to make a call from ANYWHERE right now, and will be the only company offering such service for many, many years.
