Description
I know what you re thinking: Who cares about dirt anyway?
It's all around us, finding its way onto our shoes, into our homes and under our fingernails. But we didn’t make this issue to highlight dirt’s prevalence. It’s dirt’s ability to play a unique part in so many people’s lives that makes it special.
For some nature seekers, it takes a little more than a hike to get the blood flowing. Off-roading gives these daring drivers an opportunity to become one with nature, and kick up some dirt along the way.
It’s also common for people to associate dreadlocks with dirt — a connotation that one Klipsun reporter found is not always true.
Humans are always looking for ways to stay clean. But in spas around the world, people are realizing all that may take is a healthy portion of mud.
And even sometimes people can be inherently dirty. Take Dirty Dan, Fairhaven’s putrid patriarch, a man famous for his filthy lifestyle.
True, these stories are all about dirt. But they are also about the way people walk on it, drive over it, wear it, bathe in it, get rid of it and live their lives with it.
So roll up your sleeves, put away the soap and remember a little dirt never hurt anyone.
