Let me brag- just a little.

Finally!

Here's the article titled: XCSKIES.com that I was talking about a few weeks ago. It was authored by Katrina Mohr and she did a fantastic job- it's not an easy task understanding all that nerdy scientific data.

It was published in the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Magazine (www.USHPA.aero) this past August.

It's an awesome article! Give it a read. XCSKIES.com

Breathing is key to a healthy life.

You should have heard the silence in our house last night. At least last night I was breathing, verses the night before when I held my breath for 1/2 hour.

My #1 pet-peeve, other than bad table manners, ADHD twitching and smacking gum, is:

Ignorance: the destitute of knowledge or education. also : lacking knowledge or comprehension of the thing specified; Merriam-Webster.

Specifically, believing politicians blindly.

'Education' is Not watching the news, or reading publications. I can't stress how important it is to understand whom it is that owns and funds your information sources.

'Education' Is reading unbiased publications that print factual data, like voting records.

I've just written a paragraph, and erased it. 4 times. So I'll leave it at this:

I politely urge you to PLEASE read this. And YES, you have the time.

Additionally, I've posted (to the right) some other resources.

cultivation



Today, I'm working on cultivating my own positive thoughts, and not using my photo shop skills to make a certain somebody look like a she-devil. That would be considered mean and unprofessional. Instead, I've created the picture above, because it's beautiful. And God knows, we need all the beauty that we can get in this world.

so lonely

He's gone. Dead to me.

He took his 15 computer screens and left. Gone. Into the big world of people with offices...that have windows. "Offices with window's people". He's far too good for me. Out of my league. Thank God that we're already married with joint bank statements and bad investments, or I would never have stood a chance with him. He's class. High Class.

---------------------------------------------------------------

On a brighter note, we found our road. It's east to west, and north to south! 2 miles plus, no power lines, fences or angry farmers with guns and dogs! And it's just across the border in Wyoming.

You gotta love Wyoming. Here's the scene:

It's 92 degrees.
A Rancher drives by pulling a trailer lined with horses.

This is what he witnesses:

Chris, clad in his helmet, gloves, 5 layers of clothes, and radio harness. He's wrestling with, to the layman's eye, a green and orange piece of over-sized bed sheet fastened to his back with strings. And to complete the conundrum, he's tied to a rope which is fastened to the bumper of a big a$$ truck. If this isn't baffling enough, his wife, crabby and sunstroked, is preparing to pull him at 35 mph down the road.

This is the Ranchers response to the puzzling predicament:

A nod and a tilt of his hat. Not even a tap on the brakes. Totally at ease in his belief that we are putting his land to its' best use.

You gotta love Wyoming.
